July through September 2016 showed strong sales figures on track with the sales we saw in 2015. 112 single-family homes sold in Ridgefield in Q3 this year, compared to 103 during the same time in 2015. The median sales price dropped 7% from $688,000 in Q3 2015 to $640,000 this year, but homes are still selling at 96.7% of asking. The average time a house spent on the market was 148 days during this quarter. In the luxury segment of homes priced over $1.5 million, there continues to be a slow but steady demand. Condo sales were strong with 22 selling during Q3 at a median price of $286,000. There are currently 39 condos on the market with an average market time of 154 days. Tracking sales compared to mid-year, the number of homes sold is up, but values remain flat or declining at certain price points. As we move into the final quarter for 2016, October has seen more market movement and we hope to see a strong fall market. Buyers continue to demand updated, pride-of-ownership homes and pricing seems to be the key in creating a successful sale.
