Oakland County-20.3 percent decline in homes for sale
BIRMINGHAM
Real estate inventory in tri-county area continues to improve
Real estate inventory across the tri-county area of Greater Detroit continued to improve, according to a study by Residential Real Estate Concepts & Consultants, an independent research and consulting company. Collectively the three counties saw a 2.7 percent decline in homes for sale from Oct. 1 to Nov. 1, and a 12.6 percent decline from year ago levels. Since the first of the year the number of homes for sale in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties has declined modestly but are down 42.8 percent from 2008 and an even higher 54.7 percent from 2007 levels.
Of the three counties, Oakland County recorded a 20.3 percent year over year decline in homes for sale with the biggest decline in existing homes of a little less than 1,400 homes as the number of foreclosed properties for sale continues to decline. Condominiums declined just under 600 units, but represented an almost 30 percent decline. New construction declined as well.
Macomb County saw a year-over-year decline in inventory of 14 percent, with the number of existing homes dropping by a little more than 400 units or 11.2 percent, with condos for sale decreasing by just under 400 units but equaling a 26.8 percent decrease. New homes for sale in Macomb actually increased year over year.
Wayne County, including the city of Detroit, saw a one-year inventory decline of 3.4 percent but is still well below 2007 levels by almost 56 percent. Of the homes for sale, existing homes were down by 3.2 percent, condos by 2 percent, and new construction by 7.1 percent from the same period in 2009.
