Winter Springs, Seminole County, FL – Market Sales Statistics for April ‘10

Winter Springs Seminole County Florida 32708 Market Sales Statistics for April 2010

The following are the market sales statistics for Winter Springs, Seminole County, Florida for April 2010.  Winter Springs is made up of the zip code 32708.  For purposes of this analysis we are only splitting the data according to single-family homes vs, condominiums, townhomes and villas.

A couple of definitions are in order.  The median sales price means that 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% of the homes sold for less during a certain period of time – in other words, it’s the midpoint of sale prices.  So basically what this means, is that the median sales price is showing market activity in that it’s specifically indicating which price range is more active.

The average sales price, as opposed to the median sales price, is the total volume of sold properties divided by the number of properties sold.

The sales to list price ratio is just that, you’re dividing the average sales price by the average list price and coming up with a percentage that tells you how much of the list price the average homes sold for.

There needs to be a disclaimer here.  These stats are only as good as telling us what it being purchased and happening at a certain period in time.  Also, it needs to be fully understood that not only is real estate local, but it is hyper-local.  What this means is that the trends that we hear about are overall.  Let's put it this way, what's happening in one neighborhood, may not be realized in the neighborhood next door.

Additionally, these are only monthly statistics and to get a better scope of what is happening, you need to look at a longer period of time.  More high-end homes might be sold in one month as opposed to another.  By looking at a longer period, you will get a better overall picture.  It is all relative and this has to be understood when utilizing these stats.
