Wolf Laurel: Charts For Homes & Land

WL: Homes Sold: Thru 03/31/10

Item 10 Yr Avg 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 YTD
Homes Sold 42 47 30 16 16 3
Avg. Sq Ft - 2,091 2,358 2,434 2,095 1,865
Avg. $/Sq Ft - $160 $174 $173 $145 $130

Avg. Price - $334,560 $410,292 $421,082 $303,000 $237,500

Homes Sold- Key Trends: 1) Average SF declined by 14%, 2) $/SF declined by 16% and, 3) Average sale price declined by 28%.  These indexes continue to fall at 2-3 times national rates.  With the impact of our epic winter, it is tempting to think about pent up demand.

Homes Closed at Wolf Laurel: 2008-2010, (PDF): House by house, since 01/01/08 with features, $/Sq Ft, lot size, etc. Through: 03/31/10.

Nature of Active Home Listings

WL Inventory For Sale: Triple what was once considered normal.  As this is being written there are approx 80 homes listed.  It is our feeling that as many as 15 more homes are currently on vacation from active listings through withdrawal or expiration from the MLS.  The idea of pent up supply, which we have been writing about for more than 2 years regionally, now looms locally.  We see a chance for more than 100 residential listings this summer, a new high.

Median Price: Approximately half of WL residential listings are priced at $350K or less, (the median).  This number has declined by 25% in the past 90 days.

$/Sq Ft: The range of active listings is approximately $47 - $318/SF, as indicated below.  In the past 120 days, the number of homes priced at $150/SF and less has doubled.  This has occurred at the expense of higher $/SF categories.

List Price - $/Sq Ft # Homes Listed
Less Than $150/Sq Ft 25
$151 - $175/Sq Ft 19
$176 - $200/Sq Ft 11
Greater Than $200/Sq Ft 14

Methodology: Villas, Mountainside, and The Lodge were included in total closings, but excluded from calculations for average sq ft, average lot size, and $/sq ft.

Wolf Laurel Best Buys: MLS displays and full photos of all homes at WL listed at $150/Sq Ft or less.  As Of 04/26/10.

Complete Wolf Laurel Listings: All homes currently listed with basic data and single photo displays.  Contact us for detailed info.  As of: 04/26/10

WL: Lots Closed Through 03/31/10

Item 10 Yr Avg 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 YTD
Lots Sold 50 153 40 8 6 1
Avg. Size - - - 0.71 0.78 3.05
Avg. $/Acre - - - $57,950 $50,450 $49,180

Note: The single lot closing above was actually 4 adjoining lots.

Inventory For Sale: As this is being written, there are 61 lots for sale. As recently as 08/09 there were more than 100 listings.  As with homes for sale, the notion of pent up supply seems ready to make itself known.  Any expression of inventories in terms of months of supply would be without meaning in our opinion.

WL Lots Currently For Sale: Data and single photo displays of all lots for sale: As Of: 04/26/10

Lots Closed at Wolf Laurel, (PDF): Piece by piece from 01/01/08 with salient features.  Through: 03/31/10.
