Absorption Rate
I explained what the absorption rate is in my last posting, but basically it is a way to help us determine how much market activity there is at a given time in the market. A market absorption rate of less than 5 months is considered a Seller’s Market, between 5 – 6 months is a Normal or Balanced Market, and inventory levels greater than 6 months indicates a Buyer’s Market.
There are currently a total of 81 listings on the market in Bedminster. 14 properties went under contract in the last 30 days, so that gives us a current market absorption rate of 5.8 months in Bedminster. Which indicates that currently the market in Bedminster is a balanced market.

Owning a Home is a Smart Decision
A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors showed that a substantial majority of both homeowners and current renters believe that owning a home is a smart decision over the long term.
The American Attitudes About Homeownership survey of 3,793 adults found that even in today’s challenging economy, 95 percent of owners and 72 percent of renters believe that over a period of several years, it makes more sense to own a home.
Other findings of the American Attitudes About Homeownership survey include:
- A large majority of homeowners are happy with their decision to own a home. In fact, 93 percent of the owners surveyed would buy again.
- Homeowners are more satisfied with both the overall quality of their family life and with their community life than renters are.
- Of the renters surveyed, 63 percent said that it was at least somewhat likely that they would purchase a home at some point in the future, with young adults 18 to 29 years old having the strongest aspirations for homeownership.

Bedminster Market Activity since Feb. 13th
There has been some decent activity in Bedminster over the last ten days. There were 13 new listings and four contract sales, and the following properties closed:
17 Cedar Court, listed at $268,500, closed for $250,000
138 Autumn Ridge Road, listed at $652,000 closed for $640,000
There are 79 properties available in Bedminster, four of them are working through attorney review. Market absorption is 6 months. I have seen such a huge increase in market activity over the last few weeks – if you are considering a move, it might be the best time to put your home on the market. Interest rates are supposed to go up at the end of March, possibly by a point or more and the tax credit is only available through the end of April. While you might not qualify for the credit, your potential buyer might. If you can try to leverage this window of opportunity!
Contact me for more information on the market in general or any of these properties in particular.
