The closing figures are the story this month. The median of $835,000 sits above both the prior window and last summer, and the median time on market was 17 days, against 14 in the prior window and 25 a year ago. Closings ran from $484,000 to $1,200,000, so the median is carrying a wide spread. With 12 sales in the window, and 9 in the one before it, these are small counts and one or two larger houses move the middle figure.
One thing that did not move up is price per square foot: the median was $415 in this window, compared with $531 in the prior 30 days and $476 a year ago. Read alongside the higher median sale price, that says the houses that closed were larger, not simply dearer per foot.
On the supply side, 18 homes are listed and 22 are under contract, which is more pending than available. The 30 day pace works out to 1.5 months of supply. Ten of the 18 listed are asking between $500,000 and $749,999, seven have been listed 30 days or more, and two have been on 90 days or more. Just one new listing came out this week, at $739,000.
If you are selling here, the asking prices that closed recently averaged 104.7 percent of ask. If you are buying, the choice is narrow at the moment, and the median annual taxes on what closed were $13,541, worth checking line by line on any house you look at.
