Kingsbrooke Single Family Home Report: April 2012
Since the temperatures warmed up in February, we've been able to enjoy a nice long spring in Kingsbrooke. And the spring real estate market heated up early too, and demand hasn't waned. With the month of April behind us, let's take a look back at the Kingsbrooke single family home market and see how it compared to last report (March 2012) and last year (April 2011.)
KINGSBROOKE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES FOR SALE
3 Listings were Active: 2 Regular Sales, 1 Short Sale
There were two more active listings in April, than there had been in March. Since there was only one last month, we'll have to stick to comparing averages. The average list price increased over 33% since last month and nearly 9% since last year. The major increase since last month is due to the size of homes on the market. Right now, we are seeing the larger Kingsbrooke single family homes on the market, where last month we saw the smaller, townhouse sized homes. As always, for the best idea of market value will come from the sold column.
