Braemar Property Values: March-April 2014 (Heritage Series)
Memorial Day weekend 2014 has been fantastic in Braemar. I took a walk the other day and loved the smell of the hot dogs and hamburgers wafting through the air. Of course, I've been working most of the weekend, but I'm hopeful the weather will continue to be as perfect tomorrow when I get my down time.
Right now, it is time for another Braemar Property Value Report detailing sales of Braemar homes in the Heritage Series. Heritage Series homes, for those who may not be familiar, are the mid-sized single family homes, built by Brookfield Homes, with two car attached garages including the following floor plans: Exeter, Yardley, Zachery & Waverly.
There were three Yardleys that sold in March and April. Yardleys are the most prevalent of the Heritage Series homes in Braemar. Their sale prices ranged from $388,500 to $458,233. The average of all three gives us our new average market value for Braemar Heritage homes of $429,578. That's nearly a 1.5% decrease in value since last report, but an increase of 3% since last year. Heritage Series values are stable.
If you placed your Yardley, or other Heritage Series home on the market, priced to current conditions, you could expect it to be under contract in an average of under three weeks. You could also expect to assist a buyer with an average of 2/10th of 1% of the sales price in closing cost help. Seems the bigger the house, the less we are seeing closing cost assistance. First time buyers are still in need, but move up buyers, like those purchasing Heritage Series homes are able to compete for homes by not asking for that help.
The next Braemar Property Value Report will be out in July and will detail sales from May and June. Until then, if you want to know your specific home's value, call me for your free market analysis.
