Incline Mid Year 2011 Home Sales Preview
Thursday, May 26th, 2011Buyers Paying More for Larger Homes
The 2011 year-to-date number of Incline Village home sales has been roughly in line with the same period for 2010. However, the median sales price of a single family home is up nearly 17% and price per square foot was up nearly 12%. Square footage of homes purchased also increased by about 15%. Part of the increase may be due to factors like lake views, as 21 homes have sold sold with lake views so far in 2011 versus 13 for the same period in 2010. Condition of the homes likely plays a part, with remodeled homes fetching a higher dollar.
There is also a notable shift in 2011 sales trending towards higher priced homes in the $1M and under range. Nearly 1/3 of sales under $1M were above $800K in 2011, where as all sales below $1MM in 2010 were below $800K. The upper end of the market also saw a shift to higher priced sales in 2011, with almost double the number of home sales in the $2MM to $5MM price range.
We have another roughly another 5 weeks to go to first 6 months of sales are recorded, and we will see if home buyers continue to trend towards larger homes with a higher price tags, and higher cost per square foot.
