These statistics are from the 11 county overall metro MSA (metro statistical area), whereas the city and county reports come out later in the month for the preceeding month. What these show is what you probably already know: that prices continued their epic rise.
Here are the key takeaways:
- average sold price at $480,140 for the single-family home market (up 8.69 percent from last year in year over year)
- Year to date, the average and median sold price in the condo market increased to $318,904 (up 10.04 percent from last year) and $270,000 (up 12.15 percent from last year) respectively
- double digit yearly gains appear to be over, as we reach the limits of affordability
- 2017 was still a seller’s market, although the pendulum appears to be slowly shifting back to the middle as we move into 2018
