Braemar Patio Home Quarterly:  April-June 2017 (2nd Quarter)

The three words dreaded in Bristow, VA during the summer months are hazy, hot and humid.  That's Braemar Patio Homeour triple threat, making you want to explore indoor activities like cooking, watching TV, or surfing the Internet.  Today we are experiencing just the double threat of hot and humid.  That darn sunshine, combined with blue skies and white puffy clouds makes you want to wander outside and then BLAM!  You wonder why the heck you stepped outside to begin with.  It's like a sauna.

As a result, I'm partaking of the indoor activity of putting Braemar market report together today.  Right now, we are going to look back to the second quarter and see what happened to Braemar Patio home values.  Braemar Patio Homes are known to some as quads.  Each is attached at the side, back and corner to another Patio Home.  They have two levels, offering large bedrooms and a modest side yard.

There was only one sale of a Braemar Patio home in the second quarter of 2017.  Details are below:

Braemar Patio Sales between April & June 2017

Taking that one sale and throwing it in to our rolling six and twelve month data points here is what we find.  

Braemar Patio Home Quarterly:  April-June 2017 (2nd Quarter)

The more recent numbers (six month values) compared to the longer term numbers (twelve month values,) show that there is some conflicting information on whether sold prices are heading up or down.  The average sold price fell from the long term to short term.  However, the median sold price rose from the long term to the short term.  Only time will tell where we find a definite trend.  Two things that are consistent are that seller subsidy and marketing time are both shorter in both data points in the short term compared to the long term.

If you placed your Braemar Patio home on the market, priced to current conditions, you could expect it to be under contract in no more than two weeks.  You could also expect to pay $2,000 or a little more in closing cost help to the buyer.

The next Braemar Patio Home Quarterly will be out in October and will focus on what happened in the third quarter, and what that is doing to values.  If you want to know how this most recent sale affects your own Braemar Patio home's value, call me at 703-402-0037.  Helping my Braemar neighbors is one of the things I love most about my job.  Since 2005, No One Knows Braemar Better!

Chris Ann, I was a bit confused with such short sales times why would there be seller subsidies? In my market with such short sales time the buyers are just grateful to get the property, Endre

Endre Barath, Jr. --We still have buyers that expect closing assistance.  And since they are nearly all of a like mindset, it's hard to get away from it in a first time buyer property like this.  Closing cost assistance is something we do see disappearing in move up homes with more established buyers.

HI Chris, 

I totally understand BLAM! I lived in Huston. The architecture is very appealing on the Braemar patio homes. The market is hot and I can see those seller subsidies getting smaller and smaller!

The Braemar patio homes are very stately, not at all what I had pictured, with those gorgeous front porches.

Ha, you talk about humidity. You should experience a dry climate like Sacramento when it's 106. It's more like a hot oven. Tinges your skin. You walk very slowly and can feel the perspiration dripping down the back of your neck. Lovely.

Though more familiar with the term patio home rather than piggyback, again a term rarely used here. cheers cvc
