The Price per SqFt & Acre Graphs

> For those who like to analyze things.

These charts are based on price per square foot for homes.

• Price x $/SqFt for the top selling cities < $300k and < 180 DOM
• Price x $/SqFt for the top selling cities  >= $300k and < 180 DOM
• Price x $/SqFt for top city, < $300k, < 180 DOM

Here are a few observations about the $/SqFt charts and how to compare properties.

1. The property price is charted along the x axis and $/SqFt is along the y axis.
2. Plot points that appear closer to the x axis represent homes that are cheaper per square foot by comparison to other properties on the chart.
3. Plot points that appear closer to the y axis are more expensive per square foot.
4. To say this another way – Properties in the ….:
   1. Lower-left corner are the least expensive price and the lowest $/SqFt.
   2. Upper-right corner are the most expensive in both ways – total price and $/SqFt.
   3. Upper-left are more $/SqFt and lower total price.
   4. Lower-right are lower $/SqFt but higher price.
5. When two properties are similar or – what happens when we start drawing lines on the chart:
   1. Horizontal lines – when you compare properties that fall on or near a horizontal line it means:
      1. They both have about the same $/SqFt.
      2. The properties to the left are less expensive which means they will have less total square footage.
      3. The properties to the right are more expensive which means they have more total square footage.
   2. Vertical lines – when you compare properties that fall on or near a vertical line it means:
      1. They both are about the same price.
      2. The lower properties are less $/SqFt which means they will have more total square footage.
      3. The higher properties are more $/SqFt which means they have less total square footage.
   3. What does this mean – why would anyone care? You may find these charts useful in several ways:
      1. You are looking for a bargain, perhaps a fixer-upper. You have cash to invest or you have access to renovation money. These charts will let you quickly locate properties in a city that match this. Lower cost per square foot often means cash only, as-is, potential fixer-upper/flipper locations.
      2. You are an investor who thinks about square-footage, cost/square foot, and what numbers will cash-flow for you for rental/lease/fix-and-sell properties.

Hey Matt – Why did you do this? Especially when there are already lots of property search methods that work really well?

I think we have all been looking for a way to get a clear view of our real estate options. My goal is to present the information in a much more concise view that allows you to quickly summarize your options. This is done by dividing the active marketplace into manageable chucks that can be viewed on one page. You still need to pick the chuck that fits your research goals, but you do not need to subscribe to anything and you can achieve this by selecting fewer search parameters.

• Sellers – you can see comparable home prices.
• Buyers and investors – you can quickly view your options in particular price ranges, areas, and property configuration.

Regarding choosing your property focus – you will need to pick an area of interest:

• Bare land or properties will homes
• Commerical or multi-family
• Price range, property config, or location

I hope your real estate research benefits from these pages.

Contact Matt for your real estate needs.

What do the config abbreviations mean?

All numbers are based on my findings and may not agree with actual facts. Data is courtesy of Willamette Valley Multiple Listing Service which represents a subset of total real estate transactions in the area. Not to be viewed as investment advice. You have to make  your own decisions.
