Even with the list prices reflecting massively-inflated values, nearly half of the homebuyers felt the need to pay over the list price lately:

January: 38%

February: 43%

March: 53%

April: 55%

May: 54%

June: 59%

August: 55%

September: 41%

October: 45%

November: 48%

December: 48%

January: 49%

There were another 15% who paid full price in January, so almost two-thirds paid all the money. There were 16 listings that sold with zero days on market too.

The average sales price went up 7% MoM.

The median sales price went up 4% MoM.

The local pricing flattened out last summer, only to be revived over the last three months.

It should be a crazy spring – probably the craziest ever!
