North Haven CT Market Snapshot for April 2013

by Harriman Real Estate on May 31, 2013

Here’s the way the housing market is shaping up in North Haven as of April 30, 2013:

There are currently 105 single family homes for sale in North Haven:

Low list price: $64,900
High list price: $2,350,000
Average list price: $436,126
Median list price: $369,000
Average Days on Market: 83
Homes sold on average for 95.2% of list price

There are 55 homes currently under contract, priced between $100,000 and $800,000. Based on the number of homes sold in April (22), it would take approximately 5 months to sell the current inventory.

As for condominiums, there are currently 11 condos for sale:

Low list price: $64,900
High list price: $299,900
Average list price: $195,680
Median list price: $209,900
Average Days on Market: 832
Condos sold on average for 90.2% of list price

There are currently 6 condos under contract. Based on the number of condos sold in April (1), it would take 11 months to sell the current inventory.

Here is a chart showing year-to-date home and condo sales in North Haven for 2013:

Home sales in North Haven jumped by 130% in April, from 10 to 23, which stopped 5 consecutive months of decline. Compared to prior years, the numbers were up 64% from April 2012, and up 35% from April 2011. Inventory levels are also at their highest levels of the year, gaining about 10% from March. The big jump in sales and inventory levels were enough to improve the North Haven market to a normal seller’s market with just over 5 months of inventory available.

Conventional mortgage rates are still low, but after a short stay at 3.375% they have now risen to 3.625 percent. CHFA rates for first time home buyers remained unchanged at 2.75 percent. We have seen a recent report from the National Association of Realtors, however, that indicates that sub-four percent loans may be gone by summer and could hit 4.5% by 2014. If this prediction turns out to be true, then now is surely the time for buyers to get serious in their home search in order to lock in the best rates.

This chart shows how homes in various price ranges are currently selling:

North Haven’s sweet spot in April was again the $200,000 to $400,000 range, where 70% of the sales and 56% of the listings were located. The average home sold in 85 days and 61% sold in 90 days or less..

There are currently 26 condos under contract, priced between $40,000 and $320,000. Based on the number of condos sold in April (8), it would take 11 months to sell the current inventory.

Meriden home sales settled back a little in April, losing 3 units to 29 units sold, while condo sales rose by just one unit to 8 units sold. This month’s numbers were mixed when compared to the past two years: they were 14% below April of 2012, but 16% better than April of 2011. Meanwhile, inventory also continued to show nice gains, as single family homes gained 40 units while condos gained 127, a net gain of 52 units total. Continuing the upward trend, sales prices for single family homes rose by about 10%, while condos were also up, posting a 27% gain.

The increase in inventory and lower sales numbers means Meriden stayed in a balanced market, but not quite as good as March. with just over 8 months of inventory. Interest rates for 30 year conventional loans recently dropped to 3.375% for a brief time before climbing back to the 3.625% mark where it is now, while CHFA rates (for first time home buyers) again remained unchanged at 2.75 percent.

Low list price: $19,000
High list price: $1,350,000
Average list price: $348,092
Median list price: $325,900
Average Days on Market: 95
Homes sold on average for 100.0% of list price

There are 71 homes currently under contract, priced between $95,000 and $699,000. Based on the number of homes sold in April (24), it would take approximately 7 months to sell the current inventory.

As for condominiums, there are currently 70 condos for sale:

Low list price: $55,000
High list price: $529,574
Average list price: $248,029
Median list price: $233,600
Average Days on Market: 70
Condos sold on average for 94.9% of list price

There are currently 30 condos under contract, priced between $45,000 and $368,000. Based on the number of condos sold in April (9), it would take 8 months to sell the current inventory.

Wallingford home sales rose in April to 33 units, up from 27 in March.This was a slight 3% increase over April of 2012, and an 18% increase from April of 2011. The average selling price for condos was down slightly in April, falling to just over $235,000, while the average sale price for single family homes rose slightly to just over $348,000. After a short stay at 3.375%, thirty year conventional mortgage rates rose again to 3.50%, while CHFA rates for first time home buyers remained unchanged at 2.75 percent.

Inventory levels rose another 7.0% in April which, coupled with the increased sales, were enough to keep Wallingford firmly in the balanced market it entered in January, with just a tad over 7 months of inventory now available. The real estate market is in full swing now and inventory and sales prices should continue to rise as the year progresses, but we would not be surprised if interest rates begin to inch upwards again, so buyers should continue to do their homework and be ready to act quickly if you find the right home for you, while sellers should keep their homes in tip-top showing condition and priced well to attract well-qualified buyers.

2nd Annual Porky Pig Fest Comes to Villa Capri

by Harriman Real Estate on May 16, 2013

Villa Capri Restaurant Hosts 2nd Annual Porky Pig Fest

When: Wednesday, May 22nd 2013

Hours: 5:30PM to 7:30PM

Where: Villa Capri, Wallingford CT

Who: Everybody!

Admission: $10 per person

Who to Contact: Dee Babkirk-Rodrigues, idee.networks@gmail.com or (860) 919-9087

On May 22nd from 5:30pm to 7:30pm, four popular local restaurants from Wallingford and Meriden will come together and battle it out to see who can devise the best pork based specialty in the land, from pulled pork to ribs and everything in between!

Here is a list of the entrants for the event so far:

Attendees and a panel of elite judges will deliberate over all the piggish fixings and squeal with delight as they come up with a winner in four categories:

Best Overall (Judge’s Choice and People’s Choice)
Best Pulled Pork (People’s Choice)
Best Ribs (People’s Choice)
Best Specialty Dish (People’s Choice)

Entrance fee for this grand event is $10, and there will be a DJ, a cash bar, and a 50/50 raffle. A portion of the proceeds will go to Master’s Manna. Like the other food events held here in the past, this promises to provide lots of fun and good food, so come on down to Villa Capri on Wednesday, May 22nd at 5:30pm and cast your vote for your favorite “other white meat” recipe! (No “pork barrel politics” allowed!)

Some pork facts:

Pork is the most widely consumed meat in the world.
It is estimated that there are over 2 billion pigs on the planet today.
Pigs are thought to be dirty animals, mostly because of their tendency to lay in mud, but are actually very clean. They roll in mud to keep their skin cool because they have no sweat glands and to protect it from the sun.
Pork tenderloin is just as lean as skinless chicken breast.
On average, 371 servings of pork can be gotten from one 265-pound market hog.
The word “barbecue” come from the French, “de barbe et queue”, meaning “from head to tail”, reflecting the fact that pigs can pretty much be consumed from head to toe.
The largest hog ever recorded was a Poland China boar in Tennessee named Big Bill. He was 9 feet long and weighed 2,552 pounds.
Pigs were first introduced to this country in 1539 by Hernando de Soto.

35th Annual Daffodil Festival Coming to Hubbard Park

by Harriman Real Estate on April 25, 2013

Over 600,000 daffodils.

Over 100,000 attendees.

Two days.

One stupendous event!

The 35th Annual Meriden Daffodil Festival in Hubbard Park is almost here and promises to be bigger and better than ever, with over 35 musical acts scheduled to perform this year and plenty of food, games, rides and activities on hand for everyone. The two day event kicks off on Saturday, April 27th and ends on Sunday, April 28th, but the amusement rides and food stations will be open starting at 5:00 PM on Friday, the 26th.

Last year the abnormally warm weather caused the thousands of daffodils in the park to bloom early, but that doesn’t seem to be the case this year, and they should be in full bloom for the festival. The main event kicks off at 10:00 AM on the 27th, followed by the Daffodil Parade at 11:30 AM. The festivities continue throughout the day until a fireworks display at 8:30 PM leads to a 9:00 PM closing, then pick up again Sunday morning at 10:00 AM and run until the festival closes at 5:00 PM. This year’s festival features something for the entire family: plenty of good food and drink in the Silver Fork Food tent; a juried craft fair featuring over 100 of the area’s most talented crafters; musical entertainment featured in 3 venues: The Jeff Crooms Welcome Stage, the Food Tent stage, and the Band Shell stage; and a number of fun activities for the kids, including jugglers, a martial arts show, temporary tattoos, face painting, ice sculpting, a magician, a yo-yo demonstration, and much more.

The list of musicians who will be playing this year is bigger than ever and sports some of the area’s best known and successful acts, including festival stalwarts River City Slim & The Zydeco Hogs, plus other acts including The Manchurians, Poor Old Shine, The Sawtelles, The Mold Monkies, and The Peacock Flounders. For a full list of scheduled activities and entertainment, head to the Daffodil Fest web site.

There will be no on-site parking at the event; however, shuttle buses will be in service to transport patrons to and from four designated parking areas: the Westfield Meriden shopping center (JC Penney/Sears deck), Platt High School, and The Hub at the intersection of State and Pratt Streets. The shuttle service will run from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Saturday, and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sunday.

There is no admission fee, no parking fee, and no shuttle bus fee. Tickets for all the food vendors and amusements must be purchased at the ticket booths inside Hubbard Park. For more information about scheduled attractions and events, head over to the festival web site at www.daffodilfest.com, call the Daffodil Hotline at (203) 630-4259, or email them at info@daffodilfest.com.

Come on out and have some fun!

Karen Burdacki Latest Agent to Join Harriman Real Estate

by Harriman Real Estate on April 21, 2013

Wow, the past couple of weeks at Harriman Real Estate have been crazy! Not only has business gone through the roof, but we’ve also added a handful of new agents in a very short period of time, with experience levels ranging from brand new agents to agents with more than a decade of real estate under their belt. We’re always honored when an agent chooses to hang their license with us, and that trend continues with the addition of our newest agent, Karen Gryga Burdacki.

Karen has been in real estate for two years, and a REALTOR® for only one, but the knowledge she has accumulated about the business, especially the transaction management side of it, is impressive and continues to grow. She came to us on the recommendation of her sister, who happens to be a former REALTOR® herself, and also after following us on Facebook for some time and being impressed by what we posted, a testament to how much influence social media can have in the decision making process.

She was born and raised in Meriden, but moved to Wallingford with her husband of twenty-five years, Paul, where they lived for twenty-one years before moving back to Meriden a year and a half ago. They have two children: Julia, 23, and Jonathan, 22. Karen attended Middlesex Community College where she focused on Marketing.

Among her varied interests Karen lists the Halfway Home Rescue and chaperoning for the local Fife & Drum Junior Camp for many years.Karen is looking forward to helping her real estate clients in the New Haven, Middlesex and Hartford county areas realize their real estate goals. You can reach Karen by email at karen@harrimanre.com, or by phone at (203) 980-5345.

Welcome to our family, Karen!
