Braemar Property Values: July-August 2012 (Heritage Series)
I think this is my favorite time of year to be a resident of Braemar. The temps are just right. Not too hot, not too cool. And the leaves will soon be changing. Before we start to enjoy the fall season ahead, let's take a look back at the Braemar real estate market for the last two months of summer, July & August. We'll look at the sales of Heritage Series homes in this report. Heritage Series homes are mid-sized single family homes with two car attached garages including the following floor plans: Exeter, Yardley, Zachery & Waverly. For the sake of comparisons, we'll be looking back at last report (May-June 2012) and last year (July-August 2011.)
There were three Heritage Series homes that sold during July and August. Two Yardleys and one Waverly. The high sold price was $448,000 and the low sold price was $409,900. The average of all three sales gives us our new average market value for a Braemar Heritage Series home of $429,300. That represents nearly a 1.5% increase since last report and nearly an 11% increase since last year. That's great news!
If you placed your Exeter, Yardley, Zachery or Waverly home on the market, priced to current market conditions, you could expect it be under contract in an average of just over two months. You could also expect a buyer to ask for an average of just over 2% of the sales price in closing cost assistance.
The next Braemar Property Value Report will be out in November and will detail sales from the months of September and October.
