There are some positive signs in Saturnia but the average home price in Saturnia fell slightly to just under $630,000 for the year 2017, down from $636,000 in 2016 and $638,000 in 2015 and 2014. On the bright side only one house sold for less than $500,000 and just barely at $493K. The lowest price in 2016 was all the way down to $455K with two others under $500K. See our 2016 Saturnia summary. Pressure from new homes in developments like The Bridges and Seven Bridges has increased supply in this segment, keeping home prices from rising for larger single family homes. The Boca Falls 2017 average was also down a little.
Other positive signs include no REO or short sale transactions, and a higher volume with 33 homes sold in 2017, up from 23 in 2016. Some listings failed with eight canceled and ten expired. Also on the negative side, the average price fell in dollars per square foot. In 2016 it was up to $188 per square foot, but in 2017 it dropped to $174 per square foot, well below the 2015 number.
