2012 Year Review for Monthly Home Sales for JC, Downtown, NJ
2012 Year Review for Monthly Home Sales for JC, Downtown, NJ. brought to you by Hoboken Real Estate Monitor.com and Donna Antonucci.
Volume was good in last quarter of last year as compared to earlier months of last year. We closed 540 condos in JC, Downtown last Year. 85 in Q1, 152 in Q2, 102 in July-august period and highest in last quarter with 156 closing in Oct-Dec Period. This supports the story of increasing prices - approximately 7% from the beginning of 2012 to the end of the year.
We ended 2012 with 112 active listings.which is significant decrease from Q2 with 202 listing. Increasing prices is also attributable to the lower inventory - more closings, not enough new listings coming on the market = increasing prices. People bought more properties in this Quarter vs any previous Quarter.
Take a look at the volume graph above. You can see the Two bedrooms have the highest sales in average for Q4 which is typical for Jersey City. The two bedroom is the most versatile for Jersey city’s audience. A two bed is good for roommates, that young professional that wants a home office, a newly married couple and for the couple with their first child.

Sales Volume was highest in the month of November but the average Highest recorded was in the month of October and August a close second.
