December tends to be the slowest real estate month for sales and the 14 sales last month proves that. Compare that with the 24 sales we saw in November and you can see that people were busier with holiday parties and gift shopping than they were buying and selling Liberty Village condos. That’s an almost 40% month-to-month drop in sales volume.
Looking at sales prices, the average sale price in December 2019 was $682,418, an +11.4% increase compared to the average sale price of $612,797 in December 2018.
Total average sale prices don’t always tell the complete story so let’s break it down:

Once again, the numbers show an increase in average sale prices and a decrease in the number of listings – something we keep hearing in the media. Liberty Village’s +11.4% presents an increase in average sale price in December 2019 compared to December 2018, and it is expected that condo prices will continue to rise in 2020. The question is, by how much? We will keep you posted.
