Columbia, MD

Home Residential Resale Statistics -- January 2012

January was a strong month for Columbia, with two out its three zip codes experiencing strong increases in sales.

21044 – 21044 was one of those zip codes. This portion of Columbia saw an increase in sales of almost 20%, over $1 million more than last year. Average sold price was actually down by almost 9%, though five more homes were sold this month than the same time last year (21 versus 16). What is worrying, though, was the increase in how long homes generally stayed on the market. Last year, the average was 107 days. This year, it jumped to 205, a 91% difference. Seven homes were on the market for over 181 days, and only six sold in under 60.

21045 – In terms of total sales, 21045 was almost identical to last year with an increase of .25%. Average sold price, once again, was down almost 9%, though two more homes were sold than in 2011. Unlike 21044, the average days on the market here was virtually the same, with homes being sold on average three days less than last year. With 26% less active listings than last year, and no home taking over 360 days to sell, 21045 saw a decent month.

21046 – 21046 saw a large increase in sales compared to 2011, $3,522,250 versus $2,173,500. That’s an increase of over 60%. Two factors played big roles: the number of units sold was up by three units, or 37%, and the average sold price was up almost 18%. In this segment of Columbia, the average days that homes were on the market was down 35%, 91 days in 2012 while the average was 140 days in 2011. Like most of Howard County, the number of active listings is down, but Columbia as a whole saw a fairly strong month.
