So how did real estate fair in 2010 compared to 2009 in Lake Barrington.

Let’s look at 2009 first.

There were a total of 16 sales with closed prices from $300,000 to $865,000

The median price sold was $560,000

The average sales price was $639,613

The average marketing time was 150 days

The list to sales price ratio of all the homes sold was an average of 92% of final list price.

The list to sales price ratio of all the homes sold was an average of 67% of the original list price.

(This was due to over-pricing homes in the 4 bedroom category.)

(Some of 2010 sales were closings from 2009-those over-priced homes contributed to the longer marketing time here)

What are the changes in the Lake Barrington real estate market from 2009 to 2010?

Sales are up by 56% – A huge increase and likely due to pricing better for the market.

Market times were up by 51% – No doubt this was an adjustment for those over-priced 4 bedroom homes.

Prices not declining too much on average. – Pricing is key to selling.
