Braemar Property Value Report: May-June 2014 (Heritage Series)

Braemar Property Value Report:  May-June 2014 (Heritage Series)

Braemar home owners are definitely testing the limits of their A/C units lately.  Temperatures have been in the high 90’s, but that is what you would expect in July. And Yardley in BraemarI’m sure there will be more of the same to follow in August.

Right now, it is time for another Braemar Property Value Report for homes in the Heritage Series.  Heritage Series homes, for those who may not be familiar, are the mid-sized single family homes, built by Brookfield Homes, with two car attached garages including the following floor plans:  Exeter, Yardley, Zachery & Waverly.

There were six sales of Heritage Series homes in Braemar during May and June.  All but one were Yardleys, the most popular floor plan in the neighborhood.  The oddball was a Zachery.  The low sales price was $437,500 and the high sales price was $469,900.  The average of all six gives us our new average market value for Braemar Heritage Series homes of $459,217.  That represents nearly a 7% increase since last report and over a 6% increase since last year.  Very good news.

Another Yardley in Braemar SOLD!

On May 8, 2013, I listed this five bedroom, three and a half bathroom, three finished level Yardley model at 9713 Native Rocks Drive for $420,000.  It was less than two full days before we had our first offer.  Within three days, we had two more offers.

Yardley in BraemarThe Sellers were delighted to work with a Buyer who had their current home already under contract and scheduled to close.  It offered more security than one of the other offers whose buyers had yet to list their own property for sale.  And the proposed settlement date was less than one month away, a really attractive point for the Sellers, whose home was now vacant.

This Yardley settled on June 7, 2013 for its full list price of $420,000.  The Sellers agreed to $2,500 in closing cost assistance to the Buyer.
