About Me

My photo
One of the most important things to success in todays real estate market is to make sure the price is right. Getting it right the first time can save time and money. This is why I like to look at and analyze the data on sales. Knowing what has been selling, at what price, and how long its been on the market gives me a special insight into the market in Middleton Hills. With this blog I hope to share some of that insight in a way that's easy to understand. Please share your thoughts and comments and always feel free to contact me with any questions.

April Single Family Sales

There was only one single family sale in April, bring the year's total to 4.  This is a decrease from 7 sales in the first four months of last year.  So far, this year's sales include a 3 bedroom, two 4 bedrooms, and one 5 bedroom home with the average sale price at $542,250.  In last year's 7 sales through April there were three 3 bedroom, three 4 bedroom and one 5 bedroom home sold with and average sale price of $502,571.  It would appear that home prices have increased, however,  when comparing price per square foot they have actually decreased from $173 to $148.  The homes that have sold so far this year have had a much larger average square footage than last year. 

While reports in the State Journal have been showing sales increases of 50% over last year for Dane County the vast majority of this increase came from homes under $250,000.  Looking higher priced homes (>400k) in Middleton, Middleton Hills contirbuted over a third of sales so far this year (4 of 11).  In 2011 the neighborhood had 1/3 of sales over 400K through April.  With Middleton Hills accounting for such a large percentage of sales it seems it is still a very popular community to live.
