As far as longer term trends go, the graph below shows the number of homes sold by real estate agents broken out by quarter since the 1st quarter of 2011. Although the trend suggested increases for all quarters from 2011 through 2013, the pattern was broken in 2014 and has been erratic since then.
The chart below provides some information on trends in closing prices. It shows a “rolling” 4-quarter average for closing prices for homes sold per quarter over the past 5 years in total and broken down by number of bedrooms (for homes having 2-6 bedrooms). This suggests that prices have come down a bit since 2012 and have remained generally flat since then, except for a bit of a recovery for homes with 4 bedrooms.
The chart above also shows a 12-month rolling average for “Active Days on Market” regardless of number of bedrooms. This suggests that the average time to sell a home has had a bit of a roller-coaster ride with peaks late in 2012 and 2014. However, this graph also suggests that homes are selling faster now than in any period since the beginning of 20111.
