I like data. I like information more. And I like knowledge even better. There is a model for this called, naturally, the data-information-knowledge model. A simple version is here. So the recent mail piece from local realtor Michael Robles was useful since it had a bit of each type of stuff. The data included the realty areas of B'game and the number of sales in 2012 which are, according to Mr. Robles' flyer
Area # Area Name # of Sales
460 B'game Park 23
461 Downtown 1
462 Lyon-Hoag 32
463 Oak Grove Manor 14
464 B'game Gardens 11
465 B'game Terrace 28
466 Easton Addition 71
467 B'game Gate 10
469 B'game Village 10
470 Ray Park 16
471 B'game Hills 36
472 Mills Estates 18
That tallies to a total of 270 sales. Then the information comes--that was the highest volume in seven years and area-by-area stats are provided that show year-over-year changes in median prices, etc. We have discussed the local pricing picture here and this more detailed information notes that Lyon-Hoag actually had the greatest increase in median price (22%) and average price (23%). I don't know Mr. Robles but I like his brochure and his local roots so here is his web site.
