Days on Market
Median days on market was 29, up 81.3%. In contrast, average days on market was 33, down 15.4%.
Notably, the median rose while the average fell. A different mix of homes explains the gap.
With only 6 sales, a few homes can move either figure.
Pricing
Sale Prices
Median sale price was $3,175,000, down 2.6%. Average sale price was $3,331,500, up 1.5%.
Therefore, the two measures moved in opposite directions.
The average is about $156,500 above the median, so higher-priced sales raised the average.
Price per Square Foot
Median price per square foot was $1,681, up 29.7%. The average was $1,708, up 6.8%.
However, median sale price fell, so the sales were likely smaller homes with higher per-foot pricing.
With only 6 closed sales, the mix of homes strongly affects these figures.
Sale-to-List Ratios
Sale-to-last-list price was 93.9% at the median (-2%) and 96% at the average (+1.1%).
Similarly, sale-to-original-list price was 93.9% at the median (-2%) and 96% at the average (+2.5%).
In other words, the typical home sold about 6% below list price, while some sold closer to list.
The median matches for last and original list price, so most sellers did not reduce price before selling.
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
Active inventory is 51 listings, which provides broad selection. In addition, months of supply is 6.2, and the typical home sold about 6% below list price. As a result, buyers may find room for negotiation. Nevertheless, results depend on the specific property. |
FOR SELLERS
Sellers received a median of 93.9% of list price, so pricing accuracy matters. Median days on market was 29, though the average was 33. In addition, new listings rose 62.5%, so competition among listings is increasing. For this reason, pricing in line with recent comparable sales matters most. |
