Summer Real Estate Trends in North Indio Gated Communities

The story of record-breaking summer temperatures in the Coachella Valley seems to be on repeat the last couple years.  This summer was no exception as Palm Springs broke a temperature record in mid-July by three degrees with a high of 119 degrees.  That same week in Thermal, temperatures reached 122 degrees, breaking another 2014 record by three degrees. 

The soaring temperatures didn’t stop home buyers from lathering up with sunscreen, cranking up the A/C and making their way into the desert to search for property.  From May 1st to September 15th, 140 homes sold and the median sale price rose from the same time period last year by approximately $12,400 to $338,370. The statistic you can’t ignore is the absorption rate of 3.05, indicating the community has transitioned to a sellers market.  It will be really interesting to see how the market reacts in the next couple months.  We will be watching the absorption rate closely as a continued downward trend will drastically change the strategies we implement for our sellers and buyers.  With inventory on the low side (95 active listings as of 9/17/18), the overall sentiment from our team is real estate in North Indio is going to sizzle this fall!

WHAT IS ABSORPTION RATE?

The rate at which available homes are sold in a specific real estate market during a given time period. It is calculated by dividing the average number of sales per month by the total number of available homes.


AS PER THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS

  • First, determine the number of homes closed in your market over a specific period — say, 12 months.
  • Next, divide the number of homes by the number of months in the period — in this case, 12. This calculation gives a per month absorption rate.
  • Last, divide the rate into the number of current listings. This yields the months’ supply of homes.
