Lakelands Association of REALTORS® MLS® home sales remain subdued; with listing inventory below

“March posted another month of below-average sales activity for waterfront and non-waterfront properties, although you can’t buy what isn’t there and we’re still not seeing any meaningful return of new listings to the market,” said Matthew Lidbetter, President of the Lakelands Association of REALTORS®. “Sellers may still be withholding their listings in response to market uncertainty or they may simply be waiting until after the Easter break to kick off the spring season. Prices have stabilized in general, and in the waterfront segment we are actually starting to see a definitive upward trend emerge.”

The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) tracks price trends far more accurately than is possible using average or median price measures. The overall MLS® HPI composite benchmark price was $673,400 in March 2023, a substantial decrease of 18.9% compared to March 2022.

Residential non-waterfront sales activity recorded through the MLS® System for the Lakelands region totaled 203 units in January 2023. This was down sharply by 31.4% from the same period in 2022.

Residential non-waterfront sales were 25.3% below the five-year average and 21.4% below the 10-year average for the month of January.

Sales of waterfront properties numbered 34 units in January 2023. This was down sharply by 33.3% from the same period in 2022.

Waterfront sales were 24.8% below the five-year average and 22% below the 10-year average for the month of January.

“Sales of both waterfront and non-waterfront properties were trending well below average in January, picking up right where 2022 left off. However, looking through the seasonality of the data we can see that there has been a marginal improvement on a monthly basis since activity bottomed out in July last year,” said Matthew Lidbetter, President of the Lakelands Association of REALTORS®. “Price levels for both types of properties are still in decline and we will likely see outsized year-over-year drops as we move past the one-year mark of the all-time highs experienced last spring. On the supply side, the stock of listings is being bolstered by a rebound in the non-waterfront segment, although supply levels are still well below historical averages. While nobody expects a return to the levels of demand we saw over the past two years, the general expectation for this year is one of more stability and gradual recovery.”

The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) tracks price trends far more accurately than is possible using average or median price measures. The overall MLS® HPI composite benchmark price was $665,600 in January 2023, a big reduction of 11.7% compared to January 2022.

The benchmark price for single-family homes was $685,900, a substantial decline of 12.7% on a year-over-year basis in January. By comparison, the benchmark price for townhouse/row units was $590,300, down only 0.4% compared to a year earlier, while the benchmark apartment price was $467,300, up modestly by 1.1% from year-ago levels.

The median price for residential non-waterfront property sales in January 2023 was $679,000, a large decline of 16.7% from January 2022.

The median price for waterfront property sales in January 2023 was $920,000, a large decline of 20% from January 2022.

The total dollar value of all residential non-waterfront sales in January 2023 was $169.2 million, a sharp decrease of 39.2% from the same month in 2022.

“Sales of both waterfront and non-waterfront properties affected totals for 2022 in the second half of the year. Identifying any turning points in demand or supply will be difficult as we move through the lower-volume months of winter. Going into the end of 2022 there were signs of an emerging rebound in sales activity – not one that would put us back on a path to reach the heights of the past two years but one that could get us back to a more normal market, historically speaking.” The Annual Non-waterfront sector was at its lowest annual level since 2012 while waterfront activity dropped to its lowest levels since 2008,” said Matthew Lidbetter, President of the Lakelands Association of REALTORS®.

Residential non-waterfront sales activity recorded through the MLS® System for the Lakelands region totaled 318 units in November 2022. This was a substantial reduction of 34.4% from the same period in 2021.

Residential non-waterfront sales were 26.1% below the five-year average and 23.6% below the 10-year average for the month of November.

On a year-to-date basis, residential non-waterfront sales totaled 4,444 units over the first 11 months of the year. This was a sharp decrease of 34.3% from the same period in 2021.

Sales of waterfront properties numbered 61 units in November 2022. This was a substantial reduction of 39.6% from the same period in 2021.

Waterfront sales were 38.3% below the five-year average and 37.8% below the 10-year average for the month of November.

On a year-to-date basis, waterfront sales totaled 1,147 units over the first 11 months of the year. This was a sharp decrease of 45.9% from the same period in 2021.

“Sales both waterfront and non-waterfront homes continued running at below-average levels in November and will likely continue to do so into early 2023 as buyers adjusted to a higher interest rate environment and sellers continue to adjust their pricing expectations,” said Chuck Murney, President of the Lakelands Association of REALTORS®. “Looking through the monthly seasonality we are actually seeing a promising upward trend since reaching bottom in July. It’s very unlikely that we’ll return to anywhere near the highs of the past two years but possible that by the midpoint of 2023 we could be approaching more normal historical levels, barring any further unforeseen developments. Supply is plentiful and the market balance is tilted slightly in favour of buyers at the moment, so we should begin seeing sidelined participants re-enter the market early next year.”

The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) tracks price trends far more accurately than is possible using average or median price measures. The overall MLS® HPI composite benchmark price was $682,700 in November 2022, falling by 2.5% compared to November 2021.

The benchmark price for single-family homes was $703,600, a modest decline of 3% on a year-over-year basis in November. By comparison, the benchmark price for townhouse/row units was $607,300, up modestly by 3.4% compared to a year earlier, while the benchmark apartment price was $477,300, an increase of 5.8% from year-ago levels.

The median price for residential non-waterfront property sales in November 2022 was $641,700, down by 8.3% from November 2021.

On a year-to-date basis, waterfront sales totaled 1,088 units over the first 10 months of the year. This was a substantial decline of 46.1% from the same period in 2021.

“Sales of both waterfront and non-waterfront homes are still running well below typical levels for this time of year, a trend we expect will continue into next year as buyers and sellers play catch-up on rising interest rates and figuring out where to meet on pricing,” said Chuck Murney, President of the Lakelands Association of REALTORS®. “The good news is on the supply side, where new listings have not dropped off but are actually holding up fairly well. This is giving a long-awaited boost to overall inventories, helping them rise from rock-bottom and unsustainable levels seen right up until earlier this year. Once buyers feel ready to return to the market and sellers have adjusted their pricing expectations there should be more ample availability for buyers than there has been through the frenzy of the past two years.”

The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) tracks price trends far more accurately than is possible using average or median price measures. The overall MLS® HPI composite benchmark price was $704,500 in October 2022, a small gain of 2.7% compared to October 2021.

On a year-to-date basis, waterfront sales totaled 998 units over the first nine months of the year. This was a substantial reduction of 46.3% from the same period in 2021.

“Similar to the last few months, sales of both waterfront and non-waterfront residential properties remained well below average levels for this time of year as past and future interest rate increases continue to weigh on buyer sentiment,” said Chuck Murney, President of the Lakelands Association of REALTORS®. “That being said, average sales price for both waterfront and non-waterfront homes are holding strong and a solid showing on the new supply side provides some good news to buyers who are still in the market and now have a wider selection of properties to choose from than they did when available listings hit their lowest levels on record only several months ago.”
