As your New Albany real estate advisers, Tony and I thought you might be interested in how our market is faring this year compared to last year. Inventory is down, days on market are declining and prices are heading upward – especially on the 50+ homes sold in June!
Below are the year to date statistics for the communities in New Albany. Without exception, all neighborhoods have seen 2013 prices rise anywhere from $4/square foot to $15/square foot, depending on the community. The average sales price in New Albany school district rose 9% over the same time last year. The number of homes sold through June is flat with last year but I expect that to see this change when the unprecedented 90 homes currently in contract close by summer’s end.

While we haven’t regained all the ground that was lost in the past 5 years, we are well on our way. Real estate trends vary from town to town and neighborhood to neighborhood, but it’s safe to say that all of Central Ohio is following the same trends we are seeing in New Albany.
