According to the Listingbook database, 12 homes sold in Port during December at an average price of $752,00 (compared to 5 homes at an average price of $719,500 in November). (In Nassau County, the December 2008 average sale price is not yet available on the MLSLI website; the average sale price of a home in November was just under $500,000.) Port sellers received an average of 90% of their original asking price (it was 93% in November). The average days on the market for homes sold in December was 158 days (184 days for those sold in November).
There are currently 26 homes pending sale and there are another 127 properties for sale in Port. I cannot establish a trend with only two months of data, but the increase in sales and sale price is somewhat encouraging. Note that sellers received a slightly less percentage of their original asking price in December, and the homes sold in December were on the market an average of 26 fewer days.
