13. Outlook for November
Residential real estate data for Torrance during November 2013 reveals market activity is trending
downward relative to the month previous. Asides from improvements in the sales/listings ratio and
months of inventory turnover, decreases in performance measurements for total sales, median sales
price, median days to sell, and listing were recorded. However, despite this information there is no reason
to be concerned as real estate market activity typically slows during the holiday season, historically
speaking. On the bright side, the median sales price in 2013 versus 2012 climb 4.3% or $23K.
The forecast for December is not unlike November in that overall market performance is expected to
produce similar results. With this in mind, here are a couple of things to remember: 1) Buyers, mortgage
interest rates remain at historically low levels but may be going up soon once the Fed begins QE tapering,
and 2) Sellers, as the quantity of listings decline so does the competition.
With this in mind, the recap is…
