Princeton Township Homes Sold 2003-2008

This article, part of a continual series on Princeton real estate housing, examines the Princeton real estate from the perspective of the number of homes for sale sold in Princeton Township from 2003 to 2008. The number of homes sold is an important statistics as an indication of the demand for Princeton real estate. I looked at the home prices in various price ranges over $700,000 and the total number of homes sold in Princeton during the last 5 years.

Summary

The 2008 drop in demand has
been seen in all price ranges (except over $3 million dollar price
range, which dropped earlier in 2005 and has remained the same since).The highest total number of homes sold was in 2004. As the signs of the weakening market appeared in 2006, the numbers dropped by 29%. After a bit of recovery in 2007, the number of homes sold dropped again in 2008, so far by 27%.
The changes in the demand for houses was not the same in all price categories. In 2007 the decline from the previous year was only evident in the top of the luxury price range. Number of homes sold in the $2 million - $3 million price range drooped by 46%. The decline in the price $3+ million price range occurred earlier in 2005, and has not changed since: one property per year has been sold in this price range.
