Average Price Statistics Don’t Tell the Whole Story!
Average Price statistics are one way home values are figured, but other figures affect home values in Woodbury. John and Becky Durham show one Woodbury neighborhood where that makes a huge difference!
The Interlachen Woods neighborhood is located in the center of Woodbury. It is within walking distance to a grocery store, library, YMCA, pharmacy and restaurants, and also offers access to parks and city trails.
As with all of Woodbury, the real estate market in Interlachen Woods has had it’s ups and downs over the past 5 years. Average sale prices went up 8.5% in the past year. That is great news! But, average prices are still 9% lower than 2010. There is still a way to go before we see full recovery from the average price drops we saw in 2011 (see graph).

But hold on! Interlachen Woods is a great example of why average price statistics don’t tell the whole story.

This means that the homes that have sold in the past two years in Interlachen Woods were sold at a lower price because they were smaller than the homes that sold in 2010 in that same neighborhood.
