Days on Market
Median days on market was 50, up 127.3%. By contrast, average days on market was 53, down 11.7%.
Notably, the median and average are close. Time on market was fairly consistent across the homes that sold.
Unusually long listings did not drive the result.
Pricing
Sale Prices
Median sale price was $3,037,500, up 13.8%. Average sale price was $3,139,236, down 24.9%.
Because the two moved in opposite directions, the mix of homes sold likely changed.
Price per Square Foot
Median price per square foot was $1,461, down 27.1%. The average was $1,475, down 30.7%.
A lower price per square foot with a higher median price is consistent with larger homes closing.
Therefore, read these figures together. With only 8 sales, the mix has a large effect.
Sale-to-List Ratios
Sale-to-last-list price was 93.4% at both the median (-4.6%) and the average (-5.1%).
Similarly, sale-to-original-list price was 91.4% at the median (-4.8%) and 88.9% at the average (-5%).
In other words, homes sold about 7% below last list price and 9% below original list price at the median.
Sale prices in the pricing chart are shown in thousands of dollars divided by 10 so they can be displayed on the same scale as price per square foot.
Considerations for Buyers and Sellers
|
FOR BUYERS
Closed sales were at a larger discount to list price than in the prior period. In addition, months of supply was 5.7. Together, these measures indicate more room for negotiation than in some recent months. Nevertheless, results depend on the specific property. |
FOR SELLERS
Median days on market was 50, and sellers received a median of 93.4% of last list price. For this reason, pricing close to current comparable sales may reduce the discount from original list price. Additionally, pending sales were low, so recent closings are the most relevant reference. |
