BBBB for the Week of Feb 21, 2021: 🏘️Shortest List + Heights RE Update 📈

Hello BBBB Friends:

Whew! Glad the past week is over! My work this week is pretty easy as there were only 4 new listings this week, 2 already under contract. If you are planning on hitting the open house trail today, you have 17 homes to choose from here in the Heights. To view price changes, new contracts, and final sales for the week for homes that are Still on My List, keep scrolling down!

HEIGHTS MARKET UPDATE
Even as the supply of homes in the Heights area continues to shrink, sales continued apace to best last January's sales by over 10% with substantial increases in average and median sales prices. Continued increases in sales are not sustainable without an infusion of new listings into the market. Unfortunately, the winter storm most likely reduced the number of new listings coming up as homeowners assess and repair damages.

CATEGORIES	JAN 2020	JAN 2021	CHANGE
ACTIVE LISTINGS	275	255	-7.3%
SALES	37	41	10.8%
AVG SALES PRICE	$651,274	$720,653	10.7%
MEDIAN SALES PRICE	$580,000	$655,000	12.9%
AVG DAYS ON MARKET	123	85	-30.9%
MEDIAN DAYS ON MARKET	59	35	-40.7%
CLOSE TO LIST PRICE RATIO	98%	98%	0.0%

Note: Median represents the "middle" number and gives a better representation of central tendency than average. For example, the median sales price is the figure at which half of the homes sold for more and half sold for less. (na= statistic not available).

Let’s go look at houses or talk about selling yours!!!
