May Home Sales Jump 39 Percent In Connecticut; Condo Sales Surge 43 Percent
June 28, 2010
To listen to Timothy Warren Jr., CEO of The Warren Group, explain four factors contributing to the spike in sales in May, click here.
Sales of single-family homes in Connecticut surged 39 percent in May, posting the sharpest increase in sales year-over-year for the month of May in more than two decades, according to the latest report by The Warren Group, publisher of The Commercial Record.
Single-family home sales jumped to 2,575 from 1,849 in May 2009. Monthly home sales have been increasing statewide by double-digit percentages since last November. May's 39 percent jump in sales volume represented the biggest increase in year-over-year sales activity for the month of May since The Warren Group started tracking Connecticut's residential real estate market in 1987. A total of 9,227 single-family home sales have been recorded in the first five months of the year, up 33 percent from 6,940 sales transactions a year earlier.

The news items indicate that the real estate market is continuing its slow turn-around process. While no area of the country has been spared in "the great recession", the Northeast in general and the Hartford Metro area have been impacted less than other parts of the country. This is in part due to the fact that we did not have the extreme inflation in housing prices that happened in some other states and regions. My first-hand activity confirms that the real estate market is very active in our areas including Coventry, Ellington, Mansfield, Tolland, Willington, and surrounding towns.
A period of severe slowness between Thanksgiving 2008 and mid-March 2009 gave way to a dramatic pick-up in the second half of March of 2009. The volume of activity continued to improve since then and the market has remained active even after the crescendo associated with the govenment home buyer incentives that expired in April 2010. Recent news indicate that in our markets home prices have increased a bit in the most recent months even while the average days on the market are also higher. Recent news are encouraging.
