Vacation homes become hottest commodity in ’21 Worcester, Garrett top list in Maryland, according to National Assn. of Realtors
GLEN N RIDDLE TOWNHOME
WASHINGTON – The sale of and demand for vacation homes soared during the covid-19 pandemic, according to a new study from the National Association of Realtors. The 2021 Vacation Home Counties Report finds that buyers flooded the real estate market in the second half of 2020 and through April 2021, causing vacation home purchases to rise expeditiously. In 2020, the share of vacation home sales to total existing-home sales increased to 5.5 percent (5 percent in 2019). Vacation home sales rose by 16.4 percent, outpacing the overall growth in existing-home sales of 5.6 percent. From January to April 2021, the share of vacation home sales to total existing-home sales rose to 6.7 percent. Vacation home sales jumped 57.2 percent year-over-year compared to the 20 percent year-over-year growth in total existing-home sales. “Vacation homes are a hot commodity at the moment,” said Continued on page 6

Opportunity for remote work pushes demand Continued from page 4 Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “With many businesses and employers still extending an option to work remotely to workers, vacation housing and second homes will remain a popular choice among buyers.” Areas where vacant seasonal, occasional or recreational-use housing account for at least 20 percent of homes – identified as vacation home counties by NAR – saw sales climb at a rate higher than the overall market during this period.
Existing-home sales from 1,060 non-vacation home counties increased by an average of 11.2 percent, while the 145 vacation home counties recorded a jump of 24.2 percent from the prior year. According to the NAR report, median existing-home sale prices in vacation counties also grew faster than in the rest of the country, increasing 14.2 percent compared to 10.1 percent in non-vacation home counties. Properties in vacation home counties, however, did typically remain on the market longer in 2020 than those
in other areas (59 days compared to 30 days). Nevertheless, homes largely sold at a faster pace in vacation home counties compared to the prior year by 13 days, versus just eight days in non-vacation home counties. Overall, the median number of net movers into vacation home counties increased from 78,114 in 2019 to 98,279 in 2020. “The enduring opportunity for remote work will continue to raise the already high demand for property in these counties, particularly in those
counties with reliable broadband internet service,” Yun said. The top 1 percent of vacation home counties in NAR’s report are concentrated in 16 states. North Carolina had four vacation counties: Swain, Alleghany, Macon and Watauga; while Massachusetts (Dukes, Barnstable and Nantucket); Michigan (Oscoda, Alcona and Clare); New York (Greene, Sullivan and Hamilton); and Vermont (Windham, Bennington and Windsor) each had three. The remainder are located in

‘Realtors ... have indicated that buyers in a position to pay in all cash are doing just that.’ Florida (Lee and Collier); Maryland (Garrett and Worcester); and Missouri (Hickory and Camden), with one each also in Arizona (Coconino); Delaware (Sussex); Georgia (Hancock); Maine (Oxford); Minnesota (Itasca); New Jersey (Cape May); New Mexico (Colfax); and Oklahoma (Delaware). Among the nine U.S. divisions, the South Atlantic (comprised of Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia) witnessed the
strongest sales growth, with home sales up nearly 31 percent in 2020 in the vacation home counties. The second highest sales growth was in the Middle Atlantic division (New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania), with home sales typically up 27.8 percent in 2020 in the vacation home counties. Third in line was the West South Central division (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas) where sales typically increased by 25.7 percent in 2020 in the vacation home counties.
In the New England division (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont), sales generally climbed 25.3 percent in 2020 in the vacation home counties. In the midst of an ongoing supply shortage, Yun notes an increase in the number of buyers willing to pay for homes in all cash. The NAR report revealed that those who buy vacation homes are more likely to do an all-cash transaction at closing. From January through the end of April 2021, all-
cash sales increased to 53 percent of all vacation home purchases, up from under 50 percent in past years. In comparison, 22 percent of all existing-home sales over the same period were all-cash sales. “Realtors all over the country have indicated that buyers in a position to pay in all cash are doing just that,” said Yun. “From a seller’s perspective, paying in this manner makes for a much more attractive offer given the strong demand right now for vacation homes,” Yun added.

Sales drop, likely because of low inventory WASHINGTON – Existing-home sales decreased for a fourth straight month in May, according to the National Association of Realtors. Only one major U.S. region, the Midwest, recorded a month-overmonth increase, while the other three regions saw sales decline. However, each of the four areas again registered double-digit yearover-year gains. Total existing-home sales — single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops — dropped 0.9 percent from April to a season-
ally adjusted annual rate of 5.80 million in May. Sales in total climbed year-over-year, up 44.6 percent from a year ago (4.01 million in May 2020). "Home sales fell moderately in May and are now approaching prepandemic activity," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist. "Lack of inventory continues to be the overwhelming factor holding back home sales, but falling affordability is simply squeezing some firsttime buyers out of the market. "The market's outlook, however, is
encouraging," Yun continued. "Supply is expected to improve, which will give buyers more options and help tamp down record-high asking prices for existing homes." The median existing-home price for all housing types in May was $350,300, up 23.6 percent from May 2020 ($283,500), as every region registered price increases. This is a record high and marks 111 straight months of year-over-year gains since March 2012. Total housing inventory at the end of May amounted to 1.23 million
units, up 7.0 percent from April's inventory and down 20.6 percent from one year ago (1.55 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 2.5month supply at the present sales pace, marginally up from April's 2.4month supply but down from 4.6months in May 2020. Properties typically remained on the market for 17 days in May, unchanged from April and down from 26 days in May 2020. Eighty-nine percent of the homes sold in May 2021 were on the market for less than a month.
