Duck Real Estate - Market Conditions Report - November 2017*

Even without December's data reported yet, Duck real estate has surpassed the number of units sold in 2016.  That's good news, because more units sold in 2016 than have sold in any year since 2013!*  

However, the trend of median sales price for Duck real estate over the last few years is not nearly as straightforward... The median sales price in 2013 was $499,900.  Year to date totals in 2017 show a median sales price of $465,500.*  So what happened?

The median sales price of Duck real estate increased 4% in 2013, and an additional 2% in 2014.  While not tremendous gains, at least both were in positive territory.  2015 saw a substantial decrease of 14% in median sales price, and although a gain of 8% occurred in 2016, it appears there will be a small loss in 2017 when the final figures come in.*
