In July Brunswick’s Real Estate market remained about the same for Active listings from 69 in June down to 66 in July. This amount of inventory has been helpful for the Brunswick buyers as they look around and shop over the summer. As we head into the fall, we would expect the inventory to continue to decrease slightly giving buyers less Active properties to consider. The Pending Sales remained strong at 29 in July compared to 36 in June. The Sold [properties also remained strong at 24 for July compared to 28 in June. This is a good sign as we progress through the summer lull that buyers are still out hunting and the summer busy season and heat is not slowing them down in Brunswick.

July ended with 66 Current Listings  (down 3 from June),  29 Pending Sales (down 7 from June), and  24 Closed Sales (down 4 from June). Average Sales Price to List Price Ratio was 102.8% for July!

Comparing Brunswick’s data for July 2018 with July 2017, this is what we see:

• July 2018 Current Listings – 66 vs 67 in July 2017

In July Bath’s Real Estate market remained the same as June with 43 Active listings. The increased inventory is certainly helping buyers find what they want in a very busy market. Bath’s market continues to do very well and buyers seem to like the various styles of housing stock that the little city has to offer. Pending Sales decreased significantly from 19 in June to only 7 in July. This is typical as July is the hot vacation month of the summer and allot of people have plans and just want to enjoy a little relax time. On the other end of that with all the tourists in Maine, small business owners work really hard and don’t get very much time off. The Sold properties also dipped from 24 in June to 13 in July. It will be interesting to see if the little lull continues or if the fall market kicks into high gear. Enjoy the last days of summer!

The Topsham Real Estate Market Report for June shows us that Topsham still remains the town with the lowest amount of inventory when comparing to Bath and Brunswick. The demand to live in Topsham is high and it seems for every house that comes on the market one goes under agreement only to be sold shortly later. Topsham continues to be a tough town to find affordability. The average price per square foot continues to rise making it even tougher for buyers to get what they want in the purchase. Sellers are having a field day in Topsham, if you plan to sell list a little over market value and the buyers will still come flocking to your home with offers. Sellers can expect multiple offer situations as long as what you have is attractive to a large pool of buyers and you don’t go overboard and price yourself out of the market. How long will this trend last?!

June ended with  23 Current Listings (down 2 from May),  19 Pending Sales (down 3 from May), and 16 Closed Sales in June (up 8 from May).  Average Sales Price to List Price Ratio was 99%.
