Holiday 2020: Record Market Activity and Strong Demand

Report on unprecedented holiday market activity with lowest inventory levels and strong buyer demand.

By Paul Myers

The holiday 2020 market shattered records with the lowest inventory levels in years, unprecedented buyer demand, and prices soaring 8-12% year-over-year. I hit 45 appraisals per month -- my highest volume ever.

Numbers

  • Appraisals: 45/month (highest ever)
  • Average prices: Up 8-12% year-over-year
  • Days on market: 10-12 days
  • Multiple offers: 60% of transactions

Explosive market.

2021 Outlook

Market momentum expected to continue. Low rates, strong demand, tight inventory.

Expect 8-10% appreciation in early 2021.

Historical Context

2020 was most unusual year in my 30-year career. Real estate boomed while broader economy struggled.

Appraisals reflect historic market conditions.
