List Prices Declined in 25 of 26 Markets: Altos Research Index

The Altos Research 10-city index of home listing prices decreased 0.4% from October to November, and prices fell in 25 of the 26 major markets the Mountain View, Calif.-based real estate market research firm tracks. Average listing price in the 10-city composite decreased from $501,377 in October to $499,267 in November. Miami was the only US market in the study to experience a month-over-month gain in listing price, up 1% from $485,472 in October to 490,197 in November. San Diego and Salt Lake City experienced the greatest declines, down 3.1% in San Diego to $837,981 and down 2.9% in Salt Lake City to $371,930. In 10 markets, prices fell more than 1%. Housing inventory declined 2.9% in the 10-city composite and 22 of 26 markets experienced inventory declines. The markets with the greatest declines in inventory were Boston (10%) and San Francisco (9.7%). Markets with increased inventory include San Diego (3.9%), Phoenix (2.9%), New York (2.1%) and Tampa (1.2%). Every market in the study except San Francisco and San Jose had a median days on market of more than 100 days. The 10-city composite had a median of 154 days in November, down 1.1% from 156 in October. The median days on market in San Jose was 99, down 4% from 103 in October. In San Francisco the median days on market was 89, but that was a 5.2% increase from October’s median of 85 days. Miami had the longest turnover time at 225 days, but that market also experienced the greatest month-over-month decline, down 7.8% from 244 days in October. The Altos Research study includes existing single-family homes and does not measure condos, town homes or new construction.
