The  number of days on the market for homes sold during the last 5 months has generally ranged from 3 to 4 months
This is somewhat a result of the low number of homes on the market where the low selection of homes has not inspired buyers.
Homes are selling for an average of approx. 92% of original list price. This is due to sellers initially listing their
homes at an unrealistic initial list price.
  
 
 
 
 
 
The average list price of homes on the market has risen approx. 21% over the last year to approx. $2,7 million, however the average price of homes sold is much lower at approx. $1.8 million at the end of May, indicating that the less expensive homes on the market are moving at a faster pace.
