INTRO : Here is a brief description of the records set in Q4 2020. Some are a bit obscure. But I think they give us added insight into just how much our real estate market has changed in the year of COVID. An * asterisk indicates that the previous record had just been set in Q3 2020. 1. The Q4 median sold price of $564K was a new high, breaking the old record of $530K just set in Q3.

I’ve let the uncertainty of COVID stop my forecasts for too long, so here goes. The Number of Sales forecast for Q1 is 991 . This is a new record for the number of Q1 sales. Yet, it will be down 35% from Q4. Sales are always down in Q1 every year. It’s the Q1 DiP . Year – to – Year sales will be UP 28% - from Q1 last year. This will be a new record for Year - to -Year Q1 % of sales increase.

No one really knows what will happen to prices in 2021. But, in Q1 prices are going UP again. My forecasted median sold price is $605K – a new record high. The 7.3% increase from Q4 will be a record high Q1 percentage of price increase. The 39.1% increase from Q1 last year will be the highest Year - to - Year percentage of price increase ever.
