Avenel_md_homes_for_sale_price_comparison
If you will allow me the freedom of defining luxury homes as the most expensive 25% of homes on the market at any given time, then the graph above gives you a pretty good idea of how asking prices for Avenel MD luxury homes are tracking.  Avenel is a small part of the larger Potomac real estate market, but by checking out the larger market, I think it is fair to say we can an idea of what is happening in smaller pockets of homes.

According to the graph above, the least expensive quartile of homes for sale in the area are tracking at a median asking price of $750,000.  In contract, the most expensive 25% of homes currently has a median asking price of $3,000,000, quite a difference, four times the price of the first group of homes!

Silver Spring MD real estate update for May 2011

Silver_spring_md_median_asking_price_chart
Today, I bring you a quick chart I put together showing the median asking prices of homes for sale in the Silver Spring MD real estate market over the past two years.  It has some good news, and some bad new, depending upon how you prefer to look at your news.

The two lines on the graph are of weekly data points as well as a rolling trend line, and they both track pretty much the same line.  Two years ago, the median asking price of homes for sale in Silver Spring was right around $370,000.  In the past two years, we have seen lows of $350,000 and highs of $400,000, but as of our latest measurement, we are pretty close to $380,000.  Which is another way of saying that over 24 months, the median asking price for Silver Spring homes moved up only about 3%.  Which isn't horrible.  But it isn't great either.
