Ann Arbor Michigan Real Estate Market
The 2021 Ann Arbor real estate market continues to be a strong sellers market, with low inventory levels, strong price appreciation, and many over list price sales occurring. These September 2021 stats are compared to the previous year’s September 2020 statistics, which means for the year over year comparisons, numbers of transactions, and days on market can be skewed because there was a hot moment where real estate was effectively brought to a standstill. (Thanks, Covid-19.)
Average Sales Price
The average sales price for a single family property (house or condo) sold in Ann Arbor in the month of September 2021, was $450,978 Compared to September of 2020, this is up 6.23%. The median sales price rose this September. Median sales price rose 10.70% to $393,000, when comparing September 2020 to September 2021.
Days on Market
Properties sold in September of 2021 were on market for an average of 21 days. This is down nearly 42.51% from September 2020.
Properties Sold At or Above List Price
September of 2021 saw a 24.62% decrease in the number of properties sold, compared to September of 2020, with a total of 199 properties receiving new owners.
A newly tracked statistic for the Studio is the percentage of properties each month that sell at or above list price. This metric is another way to gauge the supply/demand inequity in the Ann Arbor market. In September of 2021, 58.29% of the properties sold at or above list price; so that means of the 199 homes sold, 116 sold at or above listing price.
When more than half of all home sales are at or above list price, you can be sure that there is fierce competition among buyers for the limited stock of inventory that is coming to market.
