Greater Piedmont Area Real Estate – Q1 2018 Market Trends First Quarter Market Conditions
Remain Brisk – One in Five Homes Sell Within Ten Days or Less, as Median Sales Price Exceeds
$300,000
The Greater Piedmont Realtors® market area showed a 19.19% surge in sold dollar volume to
$182,422,199 for the first quarter from the same period a year ago. The robust gain was the
result of a combination of a 3.09% rise to 501 units sold and a 15.62% jump to a $301,000
average sold price over thesame period.
The surge in both average and median sold price continues to be driven by the lack of inventory
facing the region. In March, 2018 the region had 850 active listings compared to the 5-year
average of 1,023 units.
The following key takeaways provide a comprehensive overview of the Greater Piedmont
Realtors® market area:
-Active listings fell 14.9% to 850 at the end of the quarter, the lowest level in five years.
-Heavy unit sales continued to outpace the ability of the market to replenish inventory - as
evidenced by the 9.7% year over year decline in new inventory to 428 – defined as supply
added during the first quarter.
-New pending sales in March fell 5.4% to 300 from the year-ago quarter prompting concerns
that the inadequate number of new listings may temper sales growth in the typically most
active Spring market.
-Seller “pricing power” improved. The ratio of average sales price to original list price
tightened to by 2.56% to 95% over the same period. The negotiability between buyers and
sellers was reduced as inventory declined.
-Consistent with faster marketing time fueled the 2.7% decline to 108 average days on market
from the same quarter a year ago. Despite the 108-day average, 21.6% of all sales in the
quarter sold in ten days or less, further proof of a low inventory market with highdemand.
In summary, the Greater Piedmont Realtors® market area had a very positive first quarter in
terms of traditional market measurements like average sales prices, days on market and giving
sellers an upper hand in negotiations. However, the lack of inventory has real estate
professionals concerned. Of primary note is that the Greater Piedmont Realtors® is fast
approaching exceeding generating $200m in sales per quarter and trending towards a $1b year.
Pricing
The biggest gainer this Quarter was Culpeper for a 19.76 percent increase in median
sales price ($297,000), followed by Rappahannock’s growth 13.59 percent ($418,000)
and, then, Fauquier at 9.38 percent growth ($385,000). The remaining two counties saw
declines: Orange, 2.02 percent decline ($230,000) and Madison a more modest .25
percent decline ($199,000).
Closed Sales Fauquier led the way with 201 sales (15.52 percent growth), followed by Orange 117 units (5.65
percent decline), Culpeper 147 units (2.8 percent growth), Madison 19 units (20.83 percent decline) and
Rappahannock’s 17 units (19.05 percent growth)
Ratio of Average Sales Price to Original List Price
As reported earlier the lack of inventory has led to pricing power for sellers in terms of negotiating strength.
As a result, the following changes occurred in the First Quarter: Madison Country’s change of 4.06 percent
led the group (94.5 percent), followed by Rappahannock 4.39 percent change (90.3 percent), Fauquier 2.98
percent (94.4 percent) and Orange 2.41 percent change (95.7 percent) and, last Culpeper .91 percent increase
(96.7 percent), which is the highest ratio of the 5 counties.
Fauquier led the way with 315 Active listings, followed by Culpeper (195), Orange
(190), Rappahannock (66) and Madison (55).
New listing growth was most prominent in Fauquier county (393 units),
followed by Culpeper (295 units), Orange (229 units), Madison (36 units)
and Rappahannock (18 units).
