Darnestown real estate year-end review

December 29th, 2008 Categories: Darnestown

We love Darnestown and do a lot of business here.  Inventory here has been high this year.  Especially for homes priced over $1 million, the market has seemed slow.  Just looking at sales over the last two years, the total number of sales is down 28%.  The first waves of the credit crunch hit in the fall of 2007 which carried into 2008.  Compared to last year, sales were down nearly 40%  for the 1st half of the year.  Sales in the 2nd half were down 14%.

Taking a look at sales by price range, most sales declines have been in the $600,000 to $1M price range — 35% lower in 2008.  Sales under $600,000 and over $1M were down 14% and 16% respectively.

As of the writing of this post, there are 33 homes currently available on the market:

• Under $600K – 5 homes
• $600K to $1M – 12 homes
• Over $1M – 13 homes

With the Spring comes new buyers and new listings.  Contact us for more information on Darnestown if you are planning to buy or sell here in 2009.
