The Average Sold Price per Square Footage was Appreciating*
The Average Sold Price per Square Footage is a great indicator for the direction of property values. Since Median Sold Price and Average Sold Price can be impacted by the 'mix' of high or low end properties in the market, the Average Sold Price per Square Footage is a more normalized indicator on the direction of property values. The February 2025 Average Sold Price per Square Footage of $692 was up 11.1% from $623 last month and up 6.3% from $651 in February of last year.

The Days on Market Showed Upward Trend*
The average Days on Market (DOM) shows how many days the average property is on the market before it sells. An upward trend in DOM trends to indicate a move towards more of a Buyer’s market, a downward trend indicates a move towards more of a Seller’s market. The DOM for February 2025 was 47, up 23.7% from 38 days last month and up 20.5% from 39 days in February of last year.
The Sold/Original List Price Ratio Remains Steady**
The Sold Price vs. Original List Price reveals the average amount that sellers are agreeing to come down from their original 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. This month Sold Price vs. Original List Price of 100% was up 1% % from last month and down from 1% % in February of last year.
