The first 18 days of February 2020 compared to the same period last year looks similar. Still, reading between the lines shows a trend that has been developing for some time. The average sales price increased $10,000 to 451k+ compared to 441k+ in 2019. But, sold properties were down to 138 from 146 the previous year. Excluding the highest year of the last five, the average number of sold properties in the first eighteen days of February has been 151 days. The excluded year was 2018 when there were 202 sold properties! No matter how you slice it, low inventory and high demand are affecting the average sales price.
