TOWN & COUNTRY’S Judi A. Desiderio has been reporting on North Fork Home Sales statistics for over 20 years. This 3rd Quarter Home Sales Report epitomizes why Judi always states “The numbers don’t lie. Individual agents and companies can have record quarters, but individuals don’t make the market.” This is a true eye opener for the amount of RED throughout the report. This is a big surprise since the TOWN & COUNTRY’S offices are reporting 3rd Quarter sales growth in all markets. In fact, 2 markets more than doubled.
All 4 markets monitored by TOWN & COUNTRY’S saw dramatic decreases in the Number of Home Sales with Orient (which includes East Marion and Greenport) dropping the most – 47% from 34 sales to 18 year over year.
Southold (which includes New Suffolk and Peconic) realized a 51% plunge in Total Home Sales Volume from $29M to $14.3M.
Jamesport (which includes Aquebogue, Baiting Hollow and South Jamesport) and Orient (which includes East Marion and Greenport) experienced increases in their Median Home Sales Price. Orient by as much as 11%.
Looking at All North Fork Markets Combined and the RED straight across the boards is glaring! All three criteria and all 6 price ranges monitored by TOWN & COUNTRY’S posted declines by as much as 35.5% in Total Home Sales Volume year over year, with the high end suffering the worst.
Doing a year over year analysis may not give the full and comprehensive picture. To illustrate let’s look at the 3rd Quarter 2013 and we see comparable figures as 2015. Thus the conclusion that 2014 was a banner year would be most correct.
