Ypsilanti’s Real Estate Market
The 2021 Ypsilanti 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 June 2021 stats are compared to the previous year’s June 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 Ypsilanti in the month of June 2021, was $241,174. Compared to June of 2020, this is up 17.60%. The median sales price also saw a pretty significant jump in June. Median sales price rose 11.14% to $225,000, when comparing June 2020 to June 2021.
Days on Market
Properties sold in June of 2021 were on market for an average of 12 days. This is down nearly 71.92% from June 2020.
Near single digit days on market, dear reader, means that there is precious little in the way of inventory for buyers to consider. Of course, how many homes sold at or above list price is also an indicator…
Properties Sold At or Above List Price
June of 2021 saw a 48.08% increase in the number of properties sold, compared to June of 2020, with a total of 77 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 Ypsilanti market. In June of 2021, 85.71% of the properties sold at or above list price.
When 85% 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. This is the highest percentage among the Washtenaw county municipalities that we track.
