House Talk with Silvia Dukes

HOMES:

Homes on Market:  4172

Sold February 2007:  142                  Range:  $20,000-$689,000

Average Sales Price:  $180,516          Median Sales Price:  $150,000

Average Days on Market:  120

Currently under Contract:  347

Sales of existing homes continued to improve slightly in February; average and median sales prices remained at nearly the same levels as in January.  Overall inventory has decreased from January not only due to sales but also due to expired listings an increase of homes under contract.

VACANT LAND:

On Market:  3600

Sold February 2007:  27                    Range:  $9,500-$1,970,865

Average Sales Price:  $249,310          Median Sales Price:  $70,000

Average Days on Market:  77

Currently under Contract:  57

While home sales experienced a silver lining, this cannot be extended to vacant land sales which remained stagnant.  Three commercial property sales in the one to two Million Dollar range contributed to the high average sales price.  Here, the median sales price provides a more accurate measure.  It needs to be noted that vacant land sales include properties of all sizes from smaller residential lots to acreage.
