January 2017 got off to a good start. With 51 sales for $12 million, we exceeded last January’s totals which were 39 sales for $10.1 million. However, we know that the first 2 or 3 months of any year is not much of an indicator of just where the market is moving because these are typically the slowest months in any calendar year.
Hence, I will devote the rest of this report to the final tabulation of the residential housing markets in the Door-Kewaunee markets for 2016 compared to 2015. Final sales and median prices for 6 different areas covered by the MLS:
- Baileys Harbor-Liberty Grove-Ephraim-Sister Bay-Gibraltar: Number of sales was down from 100 to 92 or -8%, while median price increased from $225,000 to $234,000 up 4%.
- Jacksonport-Village and Town of Egg Harbor: Number of sales jumped from 27 to 29 a slight uptick. Median price dropped from $254,000 to 229,900 shrinking by 9%.
- Sevastopol: Here we see the number of sales moving up from 20 to 24 while median price went from $238,500 to 227,500 down 5%.
- City of Sturgeon Bay: Sales were about the same, down 3 from 111 in 2015 to 108 last year. Median price showed a nice increase from $127,900 to $136,250 for an increase of 7%.
- Southern Door County: Number of sales up from 45 to 58 (+29%) and median price up from $137,500 to $159,700 (+16%)! Way to go Southern Door!!
- Kewaunee County: Number of sales dropped from 89 to 82 while median price increased from $88,000 to $93,000. Sales down 8% while median price was up 6%.
Overall for the entire Door-Kewaunee markets, 2016 showed a decrease in the number of sales from 429 in 2015 to 411 in 2016 for a drop of 4%. Median Price increased just slightly from $149,200 to $150,000, less than 1%.
