MARKET RECAP

In our last market report, we predicted prices to continue rising in 2013, however over the last 6 months the real estate market has exceeded our expectations in both valuation and activity. The market prices were driven up by extremely low inventory combined with rock bottom interest rates, and activity increased due to a sustained economic recovery and widespread positive news about the housing market rebound. With the apartment rental market holding steady at pric-es that have risen 20% in the past couple years, tenants looked to the advantages of home ownership and found a fierce-ly competitive bidding environment for the most desirable homes. Of the 430 condos closed in Hoboken during the first half of 2013, an astonishing 47% sold at or above the asking price, narrowing the average discount from asking to under 1%. Downtown Jersey City experienced a similar market with 39% of condos selling at or over asking.

Townhomes also traded very well resulting in average prices moving up almost 15% in Hoboken since 2012 and several Hoboken properties sold well above the $2M mark. Downtown Jersey City townhomes also saw a high demand pushing prices up 25% from 2012 but sales were restrained from a lack of supply resulting in the total sales volume moving down 30%.

In spite of interest rates moving up over the past month, rates are still considered to be near historic lows and we have seen the increase as a motivating factor for potential buyers to act now or pay a higher rate in the future. With a short-age of new construction condominium developments coming online in the near future in Hoboken and Downtown Jersey City, we foresee property values continuing to rise throughout the remainder of 2013.
