Kingsbrooke Townhouse Report: May 2012
Summer is officially here and the weather is heating up. Of course, the Kingsbrooke townhouse market has been hot for some time now, so the weather is just catching up. So let's see what happened in the last month of spring, May 2012, in the Kingbrooke townhouse market and compare it to last report (April 2012) and last year (May 2011.)
KINGSBROOKE TOWNHOUSES FOR SALE
There were no Active Listings
The Kingsbrooke townhouse market is so hot that every listing that came on the market in May was scooped up and under contract before the end of the month. If you have a Kingsbrooke townhouse to sell, now is the time to get top dollar and get the home sold fast. It is a seller's market. And since there were no active listings at the end of the month, we have no comparisons to make in terms of list price. Of course, we always get our best indicators of market value from the sold column anyway.
