A Market Snapshot of Newport

The chart below represents Newport's single family market over the last 6 months. According to Statewide MLS data, an average of 17% of available single families are going under contract each month and an average of 8% are selling. If you're a seller it's important to understand that it will take some time for this inventory to be absorbed. If you're a buyer, well, you could be forgiven for thinking it's too turbulent to jump in, but when the pendulum swings (and it always does...) I predict you will look back longingly at this chart.

How's the Market? A Tale of Four Cities

The most frequently asked question i get these days is, "How is the market?"  I reply based on my own experiences or those of my colleagues, but usually my answer goes something like this, "Well, it's slowed down, but things are still selling as long as you price it right."  This is true, of course, but upon closer examination of the numbers, it's clear that inventory levels in and around Aquidneck Island are trending up, and this is likely to put more pressure on prices. This chart is 'live' and will update weekly, so check back to see how things evolve.
