Petoskey Real Estate Sales - 1st Quarter 2011

Petoskey Real Estate Market Showing Signs of Stability

Perhaps contrary to some claims you may have read in local real estate ads, the Petoskey real estate market in the first quarter of 2011 showed little change year over year from the first quarter of 2010. This is good news, however, as the federal first-time and repeat home buyer tax credits, which expired on April 30, 2010, significantly inflated the 2010 numbers. Simply holding its own, absent Uncle Sam's fiscal largesse, can be seen as a victory for the Petoskey real estate market in the first quarter of 2011.

The number of single family residences (including Petoskey homes and condominiums) sold in the Petoskey School District in the quarter increased by one unit, from 46 in 2010 to 47 in 2011. The total dollar volume from sales of Petoskey homes and condominiums in the quarter decreased slightly, however, from $10.1 million in 2010 to $9.8 million in 2011.

The median Petoskey home price declined from $165,600 in the First Quarter of 2010 to $145,000 in the First Quarter of 2011. The average home price also declined slightly, from $219,102 in the First Quarter of 2010 to $207,824 in the First Quarter of 2011.
