Dexter’s Real Estate Market
The 2021 Dexter real estate market continues to be a strong seller’s market, with low inventory levels, strong price appreciation, and many over list price sales occurring. These December 2021 stats are compared to the previous year’s December 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 Dexter in the month of December 2021, was $438,771. Compared to December of 2020, this is down 1.3%%. The median sales price also saw a jump in December. Median sales price fell 1.09% to $385,741, when comparing December 2020 to December 2021.
Days on Market
Properties sold in December of 2021 were on market for an average of 21 days. This is down 40.94% from December 2020.
Properties Sold At or Above List Price
December of 2021 saw a 28.13% decrease in the number of properties sold, compared to December of 2020, with a total of 23 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 Dexter market. In December of 2021, 91.3% of the properties sold at or above list price.
When a little over 90% 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. 21 of the 23 properties sold at or above list price this month.
