Real Estate Notes
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has tallied the
numbers for 2006, and determined that house prices dropped
2.7 percent overall, but fell much further in a number of
states. In Florida, house prices were down a whopping 30
percent, but Nevada’s house prices fell even more – 36
percent. Forty of the 50 states saw housing prices
decline.
The price decline accelerated as the year went on. From
October through December, there was a 10.1 percent decline
nationwide compared with the same period in 2005.
There were gainers in the fourth quarter, however. Two of
the three biggest were in New Jersey. Atlantic City
claimed the top spot, with prices up 25.9 percent, caused
in large part by speculators eager to buy up houses in the
path of proposed casino and luxury condo projects. Right
up there, third overall among all of the Metropolitan
Statistical Areas in the country was Trenton-Ewing, the
official designation for Mercer County, a county where it
is a safe bet to say that most home buyers were purchasing
shelter rather than speculating.
Yes, Mercer County bucked the decline in house prices big
time. With prices down by double digits in dozens of other
areas, it racked up an 18.9 percent increase in house
prices over the same period last year. The median price of
a house in the county increased to $289,000, more than
$80,000 above the median for the country.
Here is a look at what that median price fetches. These
Mercer homes sold for within $10,000 of the median price
during the fourth quarter of 2006:
