Ulster County Real Estate Statistics for the First Half of 2010

By
Real Estate Agent with Prudential Nutshell Realty

The statistics shown below were taken from the Ulster County Multiple Listing Service.  

Comparing sales from January 1, 2010 through July 15, 2010 with sales from the same time period in 2009, there has been an increase of 160 homes sold, a 33.6% increase.  The average sale price decreased from $240,296 to $235,503, a 2% decrease.  The median sale price increased from $206,730 to $209,875, a 1.5% increase. Sales increased for homes in every price category, except for the lowest and highest priced homes, those priced under $100,00 and over $501,000.

When you compare sales for the January 1, 2010 through July 15, 2010 with sales from 2008, there have been appreciable drops in average and median sale prices.  The average sale price dropped from $300,999 to $235,503, a 27.8% decrease.  The median sale price dropped from $245,000 to $209,875, a 16.7% decrease.

The average and median sale price for 2010 is slightly lower than what it was in 2004!  But with prices remaining fairly stable for the past year and a half, perhaps we have hit the bottom of the market.
