Inventory and Pace: The Scarcity Scorecard

The current available inventory stands at 55 homes for sale, a modest 1.79% drop from October, but representing a 25% increase year-over-year (Nov ’24). Critically, the Median Days on Market (DOM) tightened significantly to 31 days, down nearly 47% month-over-month. With 4.0 Months of Supply, the market remains tightly balanced. This suggests properly priced, quality assets are moving quickly, but the limited inventory overall still favors prepared sellers.

Price movement: Where the value is heading

The Median Sales Price settled at $588,500 in November. This figure reflects a decrease of 15.93% from October and a notable 20.47% drop from November 2024. However, the Average Sale Price to List Price Ratio was a near-perfect 99.5%. This is a powerful strategic indicator: while the overall median price is adjusting, homes priced correctly from the start are selling at asking or very close to it—meaning strategic, disciplined pricing is rewarded with a fast, high-conversion sale.

Sales volume: the pace of the market

Sales activity was strong with 14 closed transactions, representing a healthy 40% increase compared to November 2024. While down slightly (-17.65%) from October, the year-over-year growth shows consistent transaction volume, indicating strong market liquidity.

What the data means for buyers…

A competitive market demands clear strategy. We must analyze long-term appreciation potential and bid based on value, not emotion, to secure your foundational asset. The recent price correction offers a potential window to acquire a strong property at a more favorable valuation, but the low Months of Supply means you must be prepared to move quickly on the right home.

The Good:

• Homes for sale (“inventory”) is up 25% compared to last year, which means buyers have more properties to choose from.
• Warwick’s price point offers a healthy range for both first-time homebuyers and those looking for a “move-up” home. Not many surrounding areas that are as desirable as Warwick see those lower price points.

The Not-So-Good:

• The median sales price this month was significantly lower than November 2024 (which was 2024’s highest median sale price at $740,000), however sales prices year-to-date are up 10.73% compared to last year.
• Absorption rates (homes sold vs. homes for sale) and Close to List Price are still indicative of a seller’s market.

What the data means for sellers…

With price sensitivity increasing, the greatest advantage lies in preparation and presentation. Investing strategically in staging and minor, high-ROI updates can guarantee your home is perceived as a top-tier asset, minimizing time on market and achieving maximum capital return (as proven by the 99.5% SP/LP ratio).

The Good:

• Year to date, sales prices are up over 10% for Warwick compared to the same time frame last year.

The Not-So-Good:

• Inventory is picking up, which means you have more competition. While always important, correct pricing and expert marketing are even more significant now than they have been in the past five years.
