30A West Statistics
Market report for the West end was steady in 2016 if not overly robust as was the East. Really, the only statistic that looks a bit shaky is the average sale price which dropped from 2015 yet the median took up the slack rising heavily in December against last December and with moderate gains for the year. Inventory is down from 2015 as are days on the market so the property is moving faster. Closed sales zoomed for the month of December yet were down just a bit for the year as were pending sales but the numbers are pretty close to 2015 year-to-date. Listings were pretty even from 2015 to 2016 so sellers are not coming to market in droves, a good indicator of health. All in all 30A West even though not the higher prices in general of the East end is a steady and healthy market.
