The last two months of the year are here. So with September and October behind us, we can take a look back to resales of Braemar townhouses during those months to determine our average market value in this Braemar Townhouse Report. You will find that resales are divided into two categories: Garage and No Garage.
Townhouses with No Garage had only one resale the last two months. That makes the average, the sales price of that one sale. So the new average market value for a Braemar Townhouse with No Garage is $234,500. That's nearly an 8% increase since last report, and over a 10% increase since last year.
If you placed your Braemar Townhouse with No Garage on the market and priced it to current market conditions, you could expect your home to be under contract in less than one month. You may also find yourself in the position of NOT having to pay a buyer's closing costs. Of course, this is based on one sale, so it's hard to say for sure what a buyer may or may not ask for.
More reliable averages come from the Garage Townhouses in Braemar who saw five resales in the last two months. This brings the average market value for a Braemar Garage Townhouse to $254,180. That's almost a 1% increase since last report and over an 18% increase since last year.
If your placed your Braemar Garage Townhouse on the market and priced it to current market conditions, you could expect your home to be under contract in a little over two weeks. You could also expect a buyer to ask for an average of 3% of the sales price in closing cost assitance.
