Homes Sold
Last October we saw 154 homes sell in 2014, this year we saw a slight increase up to 167. One thing to keep in mind is right now we are still seeing a decline in inventory. There are many buyers in this market still sitting on the sidelines waiting for the right home to come on the market.
Average Sale Price
Of course this is the number that gets most of the headlines and we made quite an improvement over last year. October 2015 average sales price came in at $107,519 in our area, that's up nearly $13,000 over last years number for the same month. In the chart below you can see the average sell price of a home based on the number of bedrooms.
Days On Market
Our average days on market fell nearly a full month compared to last years number. Homes priced right can expect to be on the market a little less than 4 months on average. With the typical home loan process taking about 30-60 days, that means the average home seller is getting an acceptable offer to purchase within about 2-3 months after being on the market.
Monthly Comparison by the Numbers
Month # Sold Avg. Price Avg. Days on Market
Oct 2015 167 $107,519 114
Last Month 176 $112,377 112
