Last week I reported that listing inventory did not increase in Ledyard. This week we paid the price as 9 new listings came on the market. Inventory increased to 141 listings, the highest level in several years. There was only one pending sale this week. With only 1 or 2 sales per week, we are faced with well over a one year supply of inventory.
Last year at this time there were 139 pending or sold listings in Ledyard. Today there are only 69 pending or sold listings, a 50% decline from last year. Despite that gloomy news, buyers are looking and homes are selling, some very quickly. Condition and price continue to make the difference. Average condition just isn't good enough.
