Golden ValleyHome Values

Golden Valley's median sale price jumped to $455,000 last month, 15.2 percent above September a year ago.

Worth putting beside that: over the full twelve months the median has been $469,000, up 7.2 percent year over year. One month moves further than a year does, which is usually a sign the month is noisier than it looks.

How long homes are taking

The month and the year are telling different stories here, so both are worth knowing. In September the typical Golden Valley home took 44 days against 34 a year ago, a real jump. Across the full twelve months the pace has held closer to steady at 51 days versus 49. One slow month is not a trend, but sellers took 97.4 percent of their original asking price last month, which is the kind of number that usually shows up before a trend does. Worth watching rather than worth panicking over.

How much is for sale

There were 65 homes on the market at the end of September against 67 a year ago, which works out to 2.5 months of supply. That is a seller's market by any normal measure. Choice has barely changed for buyers year over year.
