The Average Sold Price per Square Footage was Depreciating*
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 October 2025 Average Sold Price per Square Footage of $476 was down 9.7% from $527 last month and down 6.3% from $508 in October of last year.
