Greetings!

According to the National Association of Realtors, pending home sales improved in the past six months.

The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator, increased 2.0 percent to 93.7 based on contracts signed in December. The index is 4.2 percent below the 97.8 mark in December 2009, and reflects contracts (Under Agreements) and not closings, which normally occur with a lag time of one or two months.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, credits good affordability conditions and economic improvement. “Modest gains in the labor market and the improving economy are creating a more favorable backdrop for buyers, allowing them to take advantage of excellent housing affordability conditions. Mortgage rates should rise only modestly in the months ahead, so we’ll continue to see a favorable environment for buyers with good credit,” he said.

In the past two years, home buyers have been very successful, with super-low loan default rates, partly because of stable home prices during that time. That trend is likely to continue in 2011 as long as there is sufficient demand to absorb inventory. The latest pending sales gain suggests activity is very close to a sustainable, healthy volume of a mid-5 million total annual home sales.

The Pending Home Sales Index in the Northeast increased 1.8 percent to 73.9 in December but is 5.3 percent below December 2009. Locally, we have seen an increase in Under Agreements of 2.1% in the communities of Central Middlesex County. And while this is still below December of 2009, (primarily because of the expiration of the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit) it bodes well for sustainable market conditions during the coming year.

Whether buying or selling -- or both -- market dynamics are the key to a successful transaction. That’s why The Laura B Team constantly monitors the data that impacts our local real estate market – so we can create nimble and responsive marketing strategies for all of our clients.

If you’d like to know more about current real estate market conditions, give us a call. We’d be happy to share our proprietary market data with you.
