The Average Sold Price per Square Footage was Neutral*

The Average Sold Price per Square Footage is a great indicator for the direction of property values. Since Median Sold Price and Average Sold Price can be impacted by the 'mix' of high or low end properties in the market, the Average Sold Price per Square Footage is a more normalized indicator on the direction of property values. The February 2025 Average Sold Price per Square Footage of $442 was up 7.8% from $410 last month and down 2% from $451 in February of last year.
