PRICES
Once again, prices reached amazing record highs in the 1st quarter! Both the average and median exceeded $3 million for the first time. In my annual report to you at the beginning of this year, only 2 areas in Mountain View last year showed an average and median price of more than $3 million. As of the end of the 1st quarter, that is now the average and median price for the entire city.
An astounding number of homes sold over list price – 52 of the 56 sales, or 93%. Only 2 homes sold for less than list price and 5 homes sold for 40% or more above list price. Last year, 79% of the sales were over list price.
The high-end was very strong with 6 homes for more than $4 million, but no record highs were set. Only 4 homes sold for less than $2 million.
The price per square foot in the 1st quarter was $1,734 – a 17% increase from just last year when it was $1,486.
NUMBER OF SALES
There were just 56 sales of single-family homes reported through the Multiple Listing Service in the 1st quarter. This compares to 83 sales in the 4th quarter and 92 in the 3rd quarter. The decline in sales is directly related to the few number of homes available for sale and definitely not because of low demand.
In addition to the 56 single-family home sales, there were a significant 73 condo/townhome sales. If you would like further details on condo/townhome sales this year, which are not included in this report, I would be happy to provide you my separate report on them or you can download a copy at davidtroyer.com/MVreport.
LENGTH OF TIME TO SELL
With demand like we saw in the 1st quarter, it’s no surprise that homes sold very quickly. Only 10 homes took longer than 9 days to sell. 87% of the homes sold in 9 days or less.
