Lowest Sales Price: $1,300. No. I'm not kidding. This home was a foreclosure on South Anthony Blvd in Eckels Subdivision. It features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1,232 square feet, and I'm sure plenty of rodents and maybe a squatter. It was on the market for 4 days before an investor snatched it up.
Highest Sales Price: $1,250,000. This home was on Little Turtle Trail in the luxurious Covington Lake Estates. It features 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, 4,525 square feet with a partially finished basement. It has too many cool features to list, but in my opinion, this was the coolest:
So what does this report show us about the real estate market in Fort Wayne in 2012? It was good. Homes selling for 96% of list price (on average) is not surprising. This 96% also includes foreclosures and short sales. Not too bad at all. 76 days on market is also very good overall. Homes sold at 3,889 is up from 3,545 in 2011. That's almost 1 more home sold per day than the previous year. That tells me that people are out there buying homes. Overall, the 2012 Fort Wayne real estate market was strong.
