Median Sale Prices Maintain Healthy
BOSTON, December 13, 2016 – Rhode Island single-family home sales rose 12.2 percent in October, the 18th consecutive month of positive year over year sales growth, according to a new report from The Warren Group.
A total of 947 single-family homes were sold in the Ocean State in October, compared with 844 in October 2015. The October total is the highest of any October since 2004. Year to date 9,005 homes have sold compared with 7,416 during the same period last year, a 21.4 increase in sales.
The median sale price of a single-family home in Rhode Island was $230,000 in October, compared with $225,000 in the same time last year, an increase of 3.5 percent. Year to date, prices rose by 3.9 percent to $233,750, compared with $225,000 during the same period last year.
“Sales in Rhode Island have been consistently strong all year” said Timothy Warren, CEO of The Warren Group. “We find that Rhode Island endured a bigger crash in its real estate market than did the neighboring states of Massachusetts and Connecticut. But this year it has outperformed both neighbors”.

This marks the 10th consecutive month of positive year over year sales growth.
