Minden's August numbers are in, and there's more going on beneath the surface than the headline figure suggests.
The median sale price for homes in Minden came in at $789,000 in August — up 21% year over year, and up from $725,000 in July. Sales volume came in at 23 homes, compared to 25 in July.
Here's where it gets interesting. The shift in median price isn't necessarily telling us that every home got more expensive. It may be telling us something about which homes sold. In July, 11 homes sold under $700,000. In August, that number dropped to 7. On the upper end, July saw 4 homes sell above $1 million — August saw 6.
Fewer sales at the lower end, more at the upper end. When that happens, the median moves up, even if individual home values haven't changed dramatically.
Is this a one-month shift in the mix, or something more? That's the honest answer right now: we don't know yet. We'll be watching September's numbers closely.
