Normal With Some Spots…
Happy summer, at last. The market is actually quite hot for homes priced under $1,375,000. If you think about it, it makes sense. That is about the maximum that two high-earning professionals can afford to pay with a 20% at these interest rates. To go over that number, they would need a larger amount of cash for the down payment or to be extraordinarily high earners. For homes priced at or over $1,375,000 31% sold at or over asking while 82% of homes priced under that amount sold at or over asking. That is quite the contrast! The high end also increased the Average Days in the MLS number. The 5 sales over $3 million took an average of 102 days to sell which indicates a balanced market in that sector. If you remove the two sales that were over $3 million that took over 200 days, the average days a home is active in the MLS in Washington Park drops to a very respectable 14.
This time last year our interest rates had started to climb although not to the current levels of just under 7%. In spite of that increase, our sales this year are quite similar to last year. This means it is still a good time to sell in Washington Park. If we can help you make a move, please don’t hesitate to be in touch.
