New listings of single-family detached houses and condominiums took a dip falling to one hundred and three properties, down from one hundred and nineteen last week, and sharply lower than the one hundred and seventy-six homes which were offered for sale during the same period last year.

Total active residential listings took another slide, falling twenty units on a week-over-week basis to finish at 1322, nearly ten percent lower than they were at this time last year when the residential inventory reached 1461.
Fifty-six home sellers adjusted their asking price this week while another twenty-two canceled and relisted their property, most at a new price.
A good run on higher end homes including two houses that sold above $800,000 pushed the average selling price for the week sharply higher to $300,899, up more than $30,000 from last week. The six-week average also edged higher to finish at $281,537, up just $1300 from last week, but about $26,000 lower than it was this week last year when it reached its peak for 2008 at $307,696. The four-week median increased a little more, up $4,200 from the week before to $276,500, but down from $289,950 at this time last year.

The average underbid grew from $11,393 last week to $14,262. An average discount of 4.5% puts us on the higher side of what we typically see from one week to the next, but this isn’t unusual during weeks when a higher percentage of the sales are in the $400,000 and higher category. A total of fifteen homes traded above 4400K this week.
