Average home price in Stanford reaches ten year high

STANFORD — August recorded sales in Stanford present a sharp contrast to July when only one property out of five sales closed for less than $500,000. In August there were ten transfers, twice as many as July, and all of them less than $1 million across a range of prices from $400,000 to $937,500 for a 1780 farm house. The striking change in a month is a reminder that monthly results in small markets can swing widely. But what hasn’t changed is the long-term upward momentum in prices. Stanford’s August median price reached a ten year high of $640,000.

In late September of the 23 family homes publicly listed for sale in Stanford only two are listed under $500,000 and ten remain available for over $1 million.
