What the numbers say

  • Prices are up, but not per square foot. The median price rose 15.1%, while the median price per square foot slipped 5.0%. That points to more larger homes selling, not buyers paying more for the same space.
  • Homes are selling faster. The median home sold in 16 days, down from 20. Sellers got a median 95.6% of their original list price.
  • Supply is tight. At 2.7 months of supply, there are not many homes for sale at any one time. Anything under about 4 months generally favors sellers.

Townhomes and condos are a different market. Over the same 12 months, townhomes had a median sale price of $647,500 on 14 sales (vs. $650,000 on 9 a year earlier); only 3 condos sold, too few for a reliable median. With small numbers, one or two sales can swing the median a lot. Call me for a price on a specific townhome or condo.
Why not use the 28205 numbers? 28205 covers Villa Heights plus other neighborhoods. Its single-family median for the same 12 months was $613,000 on 576 sales. Villa Heights’ was $875,000, about 43% higher. If you price a home here off ZIP-wide numbers, you will be off.
