With the average pending home sale price increasing over the closed sales price, the month of May should see a slight increase in the overall sales price. Also, with fewer Jumbo loans available and stringent qualification criteria in place, the average price of homes closed is skewed as compared with the previous year when jumbo loans were still available because more homes are selling under $400k than over the amount. Stay tuned for the May snapshot update for the community of Las Sendas and the 85207 zip code.
