Market Update

For the monthly period ending August 15, we are currently recording a sales $/SF of $193.75 averaged for all areas and types across the ARMLS database. This is up 4.3% from the $185.69 we now measure for July 15. Our forecast range mid-point was $190.30, with a 90% confidence range of $186.49 to $194.11. The actual result was within 36 cents of the upper bound and far higher than our mid-point forecast. In other words, closed prices turned out to be much stronger than we anticipated. A key reason for this is the strong representation in the sale mix of homes over $1 million.

On August 15 the pending listings for all areas & types show an average list $/SF of $195.26, up 0.9% from the reading for July 15. Among those pending listings we have 98.7% normal, 0.8% in REOs and 0.5% in short sales and pre-foreclosures. There are even fewer distressed homes in the mix than we have seen recently.

Our mid-point forecast for the average monthly sales $/SF on September 15 is $195.65, which is 1.0% above the August 15 reading. We have a 90% confidence that it will fall within ± 2% of this mid point, i.e. in the range $191.74 to $199.56.

The last 2 months have seen the average $/SF rise by 7.2%. This is a greater rise than we saw for the whole of the preceding 12 months, so appreciation has taken off like a rocket. Over the next month we expect to see a deceleration. Prices will probably continue to rise but at a less frenetic pace. However a 1% rise in a single month is still consistent with double digit appreciation for the whole year. CoreLogic's forecast for a fall in prices by the middle of 2021 is looking very exposed and we expect them to revise it shortly.
