Kingsbrooke Single Family Home Report: April 2012

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.

KINGSBROOKE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES UNDER CONTRACT

 6 Listings were Under Contract:  3 Regular Sales, 3 Short Sales

There were two more listings under contract than there had been in March.  This is a category that sees a lot of Short Sales.  The high list price at time of contract increased almost 1.5% since last month, while high marketing time was unchanged.  The low list price at time of contract wasover 7% higher than it had been last month, with low marketing time improved by 33%.  The average list price at time of contract was nearly 6% higher than last month and nearly 20% higher than it was last year.  The average marketing time was 29% improved since last month and last year.
