The chart below provides some information on trends in closing prices.   It shows a “rolling” 4-quarter average for closing prices for homes sold per quarter over the past 5 years in total and broken down by number of bedrooms (for homes having 2-6 bedrooms).  This suggests that prices have come down a bit since 2012 and have remained  generally flat since then, except for a bit of a recovery for homes with 4 bedrooms.

ClosingPrices

The chart above also shows a 12-month rolling average for “Active Days on Market” regardless of number of bedrooms.  This suggests that the average time to sell a home has had a bit of a roller-coaster ride with peaks late in 2012 and 2014.  However, this graph also suggests that homes are selling faster now than in any period since the beginning of 20111.
