Brentwood TN Real EstateMarket Report - Spring 2009

Sales of Homes in Brentwood TN were down 35% this spring while the prices decreased only 2%. This has been the norm throughout Middle Tennessee with the exception of price which has been anywhere from a 5% increase to 18% decrease. That being said, 2% is not a lot in this current economy.

The big news in Brentwood is the Inventory amount. In the first half of 2008, 275 homes sold. In the same time period of 2009, only 195 have sold.

There are currently 589 homes for sale. If you could use the 2008 numbers, there would be a 13 month supply. But since those numbers are no longer valid, the true supply should last us at least 18 months! An 18 month supply will only cause the prices to continue to decrease.

The numbers that are really scary are the prices. In 2008 the average sales price was $671,329. In the same time in 2009, the average sales price was $657,425. Not a terrible difference. The current Average ASKING price is $846,057. Hmmm I'm thinking the time on the market is going up.

With prices declining 2%, what are these sellers thinking? Up the price $200000 and they will buy it? This IS Brentwood after all. This Realtor doesn't think so.

Brentwood TN Real Estate Marketing Report - First Quarter 2009

Brentwood TN Homes have been selling well even in this down market. The number of closed sales for the 1st quarter of 2009 was down 37% from 2008 or 74 from 117. There are however 40 pending transactions that could help to pull the actual numbers up next quarter.

Since the change in administrations in Washington and the beginning of the spending of the stimulus package, activity, including sales has really picked up. As Buyer confidence increases, the industry will continue to see more of a bounce back.

In 2008, the average sales price was $673,490 with homes receiving 97% of the asking price. For the first quarter of 2009, the average sales price was $671,434 is much less than 1%. However the price received as a percentage of the asking price was reduced to 95%. This reflects the attitude of the current Buyers. This is a Buyers’ market and buyers are demanding that Sellers take less than they desire.
