MEDIAN PRICE:
The median price rose to $885,750 over $837,500 in August of 2009. That represents a 6% increase but is partially negated because the pool of homes which sold were also 14% larger.
SALES:
Home sales remained flat as compared to the previous month but the 20 sales in August 2010 were four more than August 2009.
DOM: (Days on Market)
The days a home took to sell were on average 44—almost half of what it was a year ago.
Of the 20 sales in August only three homes sold for over their asking price for an average of $15,000 more, while four sold right at the asking price and 13 sold for on average $30,000 less.
