Thirty seven units sold in 20743 in May 2011. Key points in May's data:
- More than half of all sales in May were bank-mediated sales, with six short sales and 15 foreclosures.
- In May 2010, 33 of 55 sales were short sales and foreclosures.
- Aggregate dollar volume was down 50.95% over the same month in 2010. Unit sales fell 32.73%%. The average and median prices for a home were lower, down 27.08% and 46.07%, respectively.
- No condos were sold in May. The average price for a house was $93,719.
- The median price for the bank-mediated sales was $59,900.
- No house sold for more than $300K.
Given the high percentage of bank-mediated sales in 20743, the zip code presents buyers with opportunities and risks. There is a chance to buy a home in 20743 at an extremely low price, assuming a buyer is willing to undergo the bank-mediated sales process. However, the continued presence of bank-mediated sales in the market leaves the buyer open to the risk of further equity loss through price deterioration, as demonstrated in the May 2010 / May 2011 market data.
