The Average Sold Price per Square Footage was Appreciating*
The Average Sold Price per Square Footage is a great indicator for the direction of property values. Since Median Sold Price and Average Sold Price can be impacted by the 'mix' of high or low end properties in the market, the Average Sold Price per Square Footage is a more normalized indicator on the direction of property values. The March 2025 Average Sold Price per Square Footage of $580 was up 0.5% from $577 last month and up 0.9% from $575 in March of last year.
