Yesterday we saw how the NSDCC active listings shot up from 224 to 256 in one week!

The count was at 190 just a month ago.

But to keep it in perspective, let’s compare it to previous years:

NSDCC Active & Pending Listings, First Week of May

Year	NSDCC # of Active Listings	NSDCC # of Pending Listings	A/P Ratio
2019	970	364	2.6:1
2020	732	208	3.5:1
2021	333	372	0.9:1
2022	256	196	1.3:1

It is a startling change in the marketplace when choices are so few. But relative to the corresponding number of pendings, the health of the market looks fine, in spite of much-higher pricing.

(We’ve considered a 2:1 ratio between actives and pendings to be a healthy market)

We hoped there would be a surge of new listings in 2022 as the pandemic winds down, but it’s not happening. Here are the total counts of new listings in the first third of the year:

NSDCC New Listings, January-April

Year	NSDCC # of New Listings	Median List Price
2019	1,771	$1,579,000
2020	1,370	$1,699,000
2021	1,372	$1,896,500
2022	981	$2,500,000

The monthly counts this year are 221 listings in January, 215 in February, 279 in March, and 266 in April. Fewer listings in April, than in March? No wonder the median list price is 32% higher this year than last!
