How's the Market Where You Live?

Pick a community and property type below to see recent activity: how many homes sold, the average sale price and how long they took to sell. It's a quick way to get a feel for your market, whether you're thinking of buying, selling or just keeping an eye on things.

About these numbers: they're generated automatically by our website's listing system and are for general information only. They may differ from official real estate board statistics, and they aren't an appraisal of any home.

How to Read These Numbers

Homes sold: how many listings sold in the area and time period you picked. In smaller communities, a handful of sales can swing the other numbers a lot.

 

Average sale price: the total of all sale prices divided by the number of sales. One waterfront estate can pull the average up, so compare like with like: the same community and the same type of home.

 

Average days on market: how long, on average, homes took to sell. Lower usually means buyers are acting quickly; higher means buyers have more time and choice.

 

Look at the trend, not one month. Seasons matter on the Island, and small samples bounce around. Compare several months, and talk to us about what's happening on your street right now.

Your Home Isn't an Average

Market averages are a great starting point, but buyers don't pay averages. They pay for a particular home: its view, lot, updates, suite, shop or the walk to the beach. If you're thinking of selling, a free market evaluation compares your home with the sales that genuinely match it.
