Sales Stats from 1st Half of 2008
Posted on Friday, August 1st, 2008 at 4:50am.
We're happy to offer a new data compilation of SFR sales west of Sepulveda for the first half of this year (Jan. 1-June 30, 2008).Click here to download the new spreadsheets, or, at any time, use the link on the front page in the upper-right under "MB Market Info & Updates."
You'll find 3 separate sorts of data on 82 SFR sales:
- By closing date
- By price
- By home condition (new, remod, etc.)
With a dataset of 82, we have a sizable, if not huge, database from which to calculate a median price. And the median among SFRs is really up there: $1.9m. (See pages 3 and 4 of the new spreadsheet. FWIW, the actual figure is $1,899,500 – the midpoint between two sales a bit above and below that median.)
Intriguingly, the median sale price among the 2007 sales that MBC tracked (131 sales spanning about 9 months of 2007) was $2.050m.
Medians are funny things, because they are somehow supposed to represent vast ranges of prices. In this 6-month dataset, our lowest price recorded was $772k (a 1br/1ba, updated home at 626 Rosecrans) and the highest price was $5.6m, for a new home near the water at 200 19th.
Please note that these new compilations delete interesting info you might like to see – start prices, cuts from start, DOM, etc. That information does appear in our regular (twice-monthly) MB Market Updates.
