Kingsbrooke Townhouse Report:  October 2014

Long holiday weekends always throw me off.  It doesn't feel like Sunday to me, or the last day of November.  Nonetheless, it is both of those things.  That means it's time to recap October's Kingsbrooke townhouse market activity.  We'll make comparisons to last month (September 2014) and last year (October 2013.)

TOWNHOUSES FOR SALE IN KINGSBROOKE

7 Listings were Active:  6 Regular Sales, 1 Short Sale

Kingsbrooke townhouse inventory is increasing.  There were two more townhouse listings in the neighborhood when October ended, than at that the close of September.  The high list price was up over 6.5% compared to last month, but low list price was down nearly 1.5%.  The average list price was down 4/10th of 1% since last month, but up over 10% since last year.  Of course, we only derive market value from the sold column.  That's where we find out what buyers were willing to pay and what sellers were willing to accept.

Looks like business is picking up, but the inventory still seems somewhat low, right, Chris Ann? You do a great job selling Kingsbrooke townhomes and presenting the overall picture of the real estate market there.
