February was pretty busy on our end, even though the overall number of sales was down. In total, 22 properties sold, compared to 34 last February.
That said, our busyness doesn’t mean it’s a good time to casually test the market. The homes that are selling right now are because the sellers have made a clear decision that it’s time to move.
My sense heading into the spring market is that it will likely stay active for that same reason. The sellers who are stepping forward right now aren’t just curious. They’ve decided it’s time for their next move and they’re approaching the process with a plan.
Of the 22 properties that sold, only three sold over $700,000, and just one of those sales was over $1 million, coming in at $1,250,000. Because the majority of the activity was in the lower price ranges, the average sale price for February came in at just over $566,000.
