The Avenues West Columbia Real Estate Destination

The Avenues in West Columbia/Cayce have been a popular housing destination for young professionals for many years. The mostly brick homes with large yards and tree lined streets have the character that a lot of potential homeowners appreciate. Because of its proximity to downtown Columbia and the river walk greenway, the home values have remained fairly strong even in the current real estate market. The comparison of several market measurements for the first Seven months of 2008 to the first seven months of 2009 does show some decline in pricing, but the overall values are still relatively strong.

I have listed the comparison data for the two date ranges below.

01/01/08 to 07/31/08                                     01/01/09 to 07/31/09

Homes Closed 20                                             Homes Closed 22

Average List 144,179                                     Average list 137,816

Average Days on Market 93                         Average Days on Market 94

Average Square Foot 1409                             Average Square Foot 1521

Average Price/Sq Foot 102                             Average Price/Sq Foot 91

Average Sold Price 134,812                           Average Sold price 131,686

Average Sold Sq Ft 96                                     Average Sold Sq Ft 87

The data shows about a 10% drop in the average sold per sq ft, but the average square feet of the houses being sold in 09 was approximately 8% larger than 08. If we look at the average sold price we see less than a 3% decline from 08 to 09.

The average list price on the current active properties is 160,738

The average days on market are at 86 days.
