Days on Market
Median days on market was 28, down 17.6%. Average days on market was 34, down 29.2%.
Notably, the average is higher than the median. A few longer listings raised the average.
The typical home that sold did so in about four weeks.
Pricing
Sale Prices
Median sale price was $1,310,000, up 0.8%. Average sale price was $1,455,444, down 0.3%.
Both measures were little changed, so sale prices held at a similar level.
The average is about $145,000 above the median, so higher-priced sales raised the average.
Price per Square Foot
Median price per square foot was $696, up 1.9%. The average was $749, down 0.8%.
Therefore, price per square foot was also little changed.
With only 9 closed sales, the mix of homes still affects these figures.
Sale-to-List Ratios
Sale-to-last-list price was 98.9% at the median (+1.5%) and 96.2% at the average (-6%).
Similarly, sale-to-original-list price was 96.3% at the median (+1.9%) and 94.8% at the average (-5%).
However, the lower averages show that some homes sold at larger discounts than the typical sale.
In other words, the typical home sold about 1% below last list price.
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 increased 88.9% to 17 listings, which provides more selection. In addition, months of supply rose to 3, and some homes sold at larger discounts. As a result, buyers may find more room for negotiation than before. Nevertheless, results depend on the specific property. |
FOR SELLERS
Sellers received a median of 98.9% of last list price and 96.3% of original list price. Median days on market was 28, which indicates steady demand for well-priced homes. However, inventory increased 88.9%, so competition among listings is rising. For this reason, pricing in line with recent comparable sales matters most. |
