Kensington Maryland Homes Analysis
Similar to the report on Bethesda single family homes and townhomes from last Friday, Kensington MD homes continue to show the current trend of significantly lower sales volume -- reflective of buyers in a “hovering mode”. But with just a 3% drop in “average sold price” and “average sales price as a percentage of list price” remaining at 97%, the state of our close-in market is stable.
Taking off the rose colored glasses, it’s clear that the average days on market in Kensington has dramatically increased, taking over twice as long for a property to go under contract. But this is something that sellers, with good agent representation, can handle...you just have to plan accordingly.
The January data pool didn’t include any homes in the million dollar+ bracket, which may well even further increased the days on market, although it would have also increased the average sales price. With a couple $2 million+ homes currently on the market in the Chevy Chase view subdivision, it’ll be interesting when this report can reflect their sales.
Thanks for all your e-mails and requests and please feel free to keep these inquiries coming!
