From Jonathan Miller, CEO of appraisal firm Miller Samuel:
“The average square footage of a new development closed sale fell 5.3 percent to 1,742 square feet on a year-over-year basis. The median sales price for new development fell 19.2 percent to $2.67 million while average sales price rose 3.9 percent to $4.89 respectively over the same period. The market share of re-sales rose 4.2 percent to 86.6 percent Both median sales price of $980,000 and average sales price of $1.66 million rose 0.5 percent respectively from the prior-year quarter.
"External influences outside of the vibrant city economy such as rising mortgage rates, the potential impact of the new federal tax law and an unclear direction of the national economy have continued to remain a concern of market participants," Miller added.
There are incredible opportunities in our market now for savvy buyers.
