Financing, median prices and homes that sold 2,000 square feet or more
Median list price this week was $349,000 last week $350,000. Closed median price was $341,500 this week, and $341,000 the week before. These prices are not fluctuating much from week to week.
Financing really came into play this year. Multiple offer situations changed the game. You needed to be already through the approval process and seller’s chose Cash, of course, first if the price was right and next they chose Conventional financing. It is still their choice today. Take a look.
Conventional financing closed this week 168 with median price of $371,829, last week 131 at $376,077.
Cash closed this week 27 at median price of $343,900, last week also 27 at$324,900
FHA closed this week 41 at median price of $278,000, last week 35 at median price of $282,000.
VA closed this week 8 at median price of $381,000, last week 15 at $349,000.
Some people are moving up to a larger home that has more bedrooms, family room, basement or room for an office so we decided to add this into the stats.
Single family homes closed with 2,000 square feet or more this week 134 at a median price of $414,000, last week 123 at $409,000. Minimum price closed this week at $291,000, last week at $205,000. This gives you an idea of prices in our area for that size home.
