Inventory and Pace: The Scarcity Scorecard

Inventory scarcity defines the Orangetown market. There were only 57 homes for sale, representing a steep 27.85% drop from October and a 5% decrease year-over-year. With just 2.2 Months of Supply, this is unequivocally a highly competitive seller’s market. The pace is ultra-fast, with the Median Days on Market (DOM) dropping to a blistering 18 days, down 25% from both October and November 2024. This signals intense, immediate demand for quality listings.

Price movement: Where the value is heading

The Median Sales Price settled at $655,000 in November. This figure reflects a drop of 9.03% from October and a 13.42% decrease year-over-year. However, the Average Sale Price to List Price Ratio was 100%. This is the key strategic insight: while the overall median price has adjusted likely because of a lack of higher-end sales, buyers are extremely aggressive on new listings, ensuring homes priced right are selling at asking price—meaning there is virtually no room for negotiation on assets deemed valuable.

Sales volume: the pace of the market

Transaction volume was reduced, with 21 closed sales. This is down 32.26% month-over-month and 16% year-over-year. The lower volume reflects the critical challenge of the market: a severe lack of inventory prevents more transactions from occurring, confirming the immense buyer demand that is driving up the SP/LP ratio.

What the data means for buyers…

The price drops offer a potential entry point, but the 18 DOM and 100% SP/LP show you must be prepared to act decisively. A winning strategy demands a clear vision, a streamlined financing plan, and the ability to evaluate a property based on its long-term asset value, not immediate emotional reaction. We must act quickly and strategically to secure your foundational asset, and be prepared with everything making an offer entails prior to looking at houses.

The Good:

• Homes for sale (“inventory”) has already surpassed all of what last year offered. That means more options for you to choose from.
• This month’s median sale price was the lowest Orangetown has seen all year. If the downward trend should continue, this could mean a more fruitful winter for buyers.

The Not-So-Good:

• Absorption rates (homes sold vs. homes for sale) and Close to List Price are still indicative of a very strong seller’s market. Expect multiple offers on most homes with at- or over-asking price sales.

What the data means for sellers…

In a 2.2 MoS market where buyers are paying 100% of the asking price, preparation is key to success. Your goal is to enter the market with a listing that immediately commands the 100% SP/LP premium. Investing strategically in staging and high-impact curb appeal guarantees your home is viewed as a premium asset, minimizing time on market and achieving maximum capital return.

The Good:

• Year to date, sales prices are up 4.6% for Orangetown 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.
