Selling Price per Square Foot

indicator on the direction of Property values. The

was down 0.2% from $122 last month and down 13.8%
from 142 in September of last year.
Selling Price vs Original Listing Price
The Selling Price vs Original Listing Price reveals the
average amount that Sellers are agreeing to come down
from their original list price. The lower the ratio is
below 100% the more of a Buyer's market exists, a ratio
at or above 100% indicates more of a Seller's market.

of 92.8% was down from 93.4% last month and up from
92.5% in September of last year.
