Based on last year’s sales numbers we are experiencing 6 months of inventory, 5 if you take the pending sales into account. 6 Months or less of inventory indicates a sellers market, in which demand is higher than the supply and prices are most likely increasing in the near future.

Today’s buyers, mostly from the northeast, Chicago and California, are focused on brand new homes. There is a lot of demand for brand new (waterfront) homes, but just like in other areas the supply is limited. Both in 2019 and 2020 only 2 newer homes sold that were built in 2015 or after. One of the current pending deals is a brand new home and from the 19 Waterfront listings there is only one brand new home from 2021! This is a gap in the market, and we expect many of the homes that sold this year to be converted in brand new waterfront homes.  From the 5 residential lots for sale at this very moment, two are being sold with approved plans for a brand new luxury home.
