While the number of sales are down by a small 2% margin (or 35 fewer home sales) to 1616 homes sold, this can be mostly attributable to fewer homes being listed for sale (2263 new listings, down 2.8% from 2017).
The average sales price is up 11% to $888,194. The median sales price is $715,000 up by 6.4%. FYI, this includes affordable housing sales and everything in between. And, more houses over $2 million sold in 2018 than ever before.
Days on market is down 12% All of this points to a very strong market, even with other markets nearby and nationally starting to cool off.
