NO SURPRISES 

October 2011 sales were well off in comparison to October 2010.  Both dollar volume and number of transactions were down over 40%.  As a result, year over year comparisons to date show two less transactions in 2011 and a 19% decline in sales volume.  As noted last month, a large portion of that dollar decline has been due to drop in eight figure transactions. There were seven transactions through October 2010, totaling $119,950,000.  This year there have been only two, totaling $24,425,000.  This descrepency makes up for the entire dollar volume difference.  

WHAT IS AHEAD 

As the year comes to a close, it is likely that real estate sales will not measure up to last year’s, in terms of dollar volume totals. Transaction volume should be similar to 2010.  Framing these sales numbers are the consistent decrease in sales inventory as well as the declining number of price reductions.  In all, these factors point to a healthy market.  Volume has been steady over the last 24 months and sellers have begun adjusting their asking prices to levels that reflect the current environment.  With the historically low interest rates, buyers are seeing a great opportunity to purchase.   This is somewhat remarkable when considering the global economy is unsettled at best.  Yet, Nantucket’s appeal remains unabated and buyer demand, although damped, is present.
