To give you an example of pricing accuracy, let’s compare today’s list prices to the average $/sf of last month’s solds.

There were 227 detached homes that sold under $1,200,000 last month, and they averaged $381/sf – and today’s list prices are averaging $398/sf, which is only a 4% spread.

There were 103 houses that sold over $1,200,000 last month, and they averaged $555/sf – but today’s list price average $776/sf!

Yes, the smaller and more-likely-to-be-tract-houses are easier to valuate and have a wider audience. But it demonstrates how treacherous the pricing is for the higher-end folks – both buyers and sellers.

I’ve been mentioning the $/sf of all NSDCC solds this month, because in the first couple of weeks it was hovering around $500/sf. Today it is down to $479/sf, but still well above last month’s $436/sf.

Almost all of the increase is in the Over-$1,200,000 market, which is where you can get some wild fluctuations due to the product mix.
