Puamana 2019/2020 | Market Headlines
- 5 Puamana sales in 2019, (-58%) from 12 last year and the lowest total since 2010.
- Avg Sales Price = $962K (-41%)
- 1 Bedroom Non Oceanfront unit avg sales price = $831/K (-13%)
- While on the surface it may appear that 2019 sales prices are down significantly from 2018, it’s not necessarily the story at all. Comparatively speaking, 2018 had some incredible $3M+ oceanfront sales that just so happened to be larger 3-bedroom end units. The perfect storm to set gaudy records — end unit desirability, oceanfront location and tremendous demand.
- So while top end prices are lower, we are still sitting at the strongest price/sq foot sales period Puamana has ever seen.
- Additionally, I would point out that the decline in the number of sales this year is due to the very limited inventory offering versus a decline in demand. Yes days on market did increase by nearly 100 days, but I’d claim that was due to the inventory offered. For reference – In 2018, 20 properties went actively listed on the market. In all of 2019 – only 6.
- Currently, there are 7 actively listed units available for sale priced $815K – $6M and 3 under contract.
Historical Sales Analysis
While 2019 sales prices may significantly look down, it’s necessarily not the case as Puamana had multiple large oceanfront sales in 2018. None in 2019.
