What happened in May? While there were a couple more units listed and one more unit sold in May, the major difference to note is the decrease in Average Sale Price (ASP) (-17%, $860,164 vs. $1,034,333). Why the change in the ASP? The majority of sales in May 2018 were under $1M (80% vs. 67%) and the maximum sales price this May was significantly lower ($1.8M vs. $3.1M). In fact, there were two $3M+ sales in May 2017 ($3.0M and $3.1M) compared to zero in May 2018.
