Lindenhurst Sold Homes Overview
51 homes have closed/sold from 1/1/13 through 4/30/13 with a median sold price of $257,000. This means half the homes sold for less and half sold for more. The highest priced home sold for $389,900. It is a 3 bedroom, 7 room Ranch with a full finished basement. It showed like an HGTV home and located on S. 12th street.

Only 6 of the 51 homes that have sold, sold at list price or slightly above list price. This means that prices have not gone up yet. We need to see more homes selling above list price which will happen sooner than later.

No matter what the market is, homes need to be priced right in order for them to sell. Overpriced in any market, those homes will linger and end up selling for less.


Until next time, take care and be well.
