Winter Springs, Seminole County, FL – Market Sales Statistics for May ‘09 No comments yet

winter springs seminole county florida 32708 market sales stats for may 2009

The following are the market sales statistics for Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida for May 2009.  Winter Springs is made up of the zip code 32708.  For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.

A couple of definitions are in order. The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time – in other words, it’s the midpoint of sale prices. So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it’s specifically indicating which price range is more active.

The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.

The sales to list price ratio is just that, you’re dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.

There needs to be a disclaimer here.  These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time.  Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local.  What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall.  Let’s put it this way, what’s happening in one neighborhood, may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.

Additionally, these are only monthly statistics and to get a better scope of what is happening, you need to look at a longer period of time. More high-end homes might be sold in one month as opposed to another. By looking at a longer period, you will get a better overall picture. It is all relative and this has to be understood when utilizing these stats.

Single-Family Homes

21 homes sold during the month of May.

The average sales price is $231,919 with 136 days on the market.

The median sales price is $232,500.

The sales to list price ratio is 96%.

The most expensive home sold for $535,000 and was on the market 188 days

The least expensive home sold for $22,000 in Williamson Heights after 98 days on the market.

The average sales price for the same period a year earlier was $322,606 with 167 days on the market on 25 sales, a decrease of 8%.

The month to month changes show a decrease in the average sales price of 13% and a decrease in the median sales price of 37%. Yet, there was an increase in sales volume of 10% with a 2% decrease in the sales to list price ratio.

Oviedo, Seminole County, FL – Market Sales Statistics for May ‘09 No comments yet

oviedo and chuluota seminole county florida 32765 and 32766 market sales stats for may 2009

The following are the market sales statistics for Oviedo, Seminole County, Florida for May 2009.  Oviedo is made up of the zip codes of 32765 & 32766, which is partly considered Chuluota.  For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.

A couple of definitions are in order. The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time – in other words, it’s the midpoint of sale prices. So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it’s specifically indicating which price range is more active.

The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.

The sales to list price ratio is just that, you’re dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.

There needs to be a disclaimer here.  These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time.  Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local.  What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall.  Let’s put it this way, what’s happening in one neighborhood, may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.

Additionally, these are only monthly statistics and to get a better scope of what is happening, you need to look at a longer period of time. More high-end homes might be sold in one month as opposed to another. By looking at a longer period, you will get a better overall picture. It is all relative and this has to be understood when utilizing these stats.
