The number of transactions in 2018 fell considerably (9%) to 1,778 residential transactions compared to a total of 1,950 transactions at the end of 2017.

Looking at residential average sales price per month, this December was $827,261, compared to $737,898 last December. This 12% increase may also be affected by the rising number of luxury home sales.

Observing 3 month averages, the Residential price per square foot rose 7% since last year to $472 per foot. Residential sold price versus list price has remained consistent (averaging above 90%) for the last 7 years, currently averaging 98%. On average, residential properties are selling in 59 days.
