It may be a Leap Year, but February is more of a Connect Month for reporting residential real estate data in 2012. That's because it's a buffer between the traditionally slow winter months and what is potentially going to be an interesting and encouraging spring selling season. But let's not look past brief but brassy February so quickly. After all, it grew a whole day taller this year. Let's give the oft-overlooked month its due because the numbers are mostly positive at first blush.

New Listings in the Coastal Carolinas region were down 11.1 percent for detached homes and 3.7 percent for condos. Pending Sales increased 43.7 percent for single-family homes and 17.4 percent for condos.

The Median Sales Price was up 3.9 percent to $171,500 for single-family properties but decreased 5.0 percent to $95,000 for condo units. Months Supply of Inventory decreased 25.0 percent for single-family units and 15.6 percent for townhouse-condo units.

Consumer confidence is as high as it has been in a year, and the Federal Reserve reported growth in all of its 12 banking districts in 2012 through the first half of February, including more hiring and home sales. There are still some challenges to work through, but pessimism is no longer in vogue. Laments over things like unemployment and high gas prices are being replaced with chatter about job prospects and sensible home shopping. The economy and housing market are by no means recovered, but it's okay to think positive.

Housing Supply Overview

+ 11.2% + 6.2%When anecdotal evidence echoes what the empirical data is telling us, it's wise to listen. For the 12-month period spanning March 2011 through February 2012, Closed Sales in the Coastal Carolinas region were up 4.5 percent overall. The price range with the largest gain in sales was the $150,000 and Below range, where they increased 11.2 percent.

The overall Median Sales Price was down 4.9 percent to $139,000. Single-Family Homes were down 3.5 percent while Townhouse-Condo properties were down 8.5 percent. The price range that tended to sell the quickest was the $150,000 and Below range at 171 days; the price range that tended to sell the slowest was the $300,001 and Above range at 216 days.

Market-wide, inventory levels were down 13.2 percent. The property type that gained the most inventory was the Townhouse-Condo segment, where it remained flat. That amounts to 11.2 months supply for Single-Family homes and 13.4 months supply for Condos.
