What Sold
2020 continues to be quite a year! While we finally saw a slow down of real estate sales from the record setting past 3 months, November’s 76 transactions still exceeded all months prior to August 2020 this year. The total dollar volume in November also slowed, down roughly $39M from October, but still totaling $248M, more than any month prior to August 2020. While transactions and volume declined slightly from the unprecedented 3 recent months, the average and median sales prices actually increased. The average sale price was $3.2M in November (up from $2.9M in October), while the median sales price increased from $1.5M in October to $2.3M in November, illustrating significant activity in Jackson’s high end market.
In November, 31 sales occurred over $3 million (representing 41% of all sales). In fact, more than 75% of the sales were for properties over $1M. Since May of 2020, the under $500,000 price point has accounted for a 5% or less of the monthly transactions, with November recording just 4 sales under $500,000. Single family home sales have been a dominant property type, accounting for about 50% or more of each month’s sales since April and representing 41 transactions, or 54% of this months transactions. Land sales have also been consistently up since August, with 19 lot sales recorded in November. This increase in building site sales is most likely a result of dwindling inventory of single family homes, as we have moved more single family inventory in 2020 than we have in the history of the report (and we still have one month left to close out the year!).
