SELLING PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT
The Selling Price per Square Foot is a great indicator for the direction of Property values.

The March 2021 Selling Price per Square Foot of $605 was up 4.1% from $581 last month and up 13.3% from $534 in March of last year.
SELLING PRICE VS LISTING PRICE
The Selling Price vs Listing Price reveals the average amount that Sellers are agreeing to come down from their list price. The lower the ratio is below 100% the more of a Buyer’s market exists, a ratio at or above 100% indicates more of a Seller’s market. The March 2021 Selling Price vs List Price of 100.9% was up from 99.2% last month and up from 98.4% in March of last year.
