86 homes sold in Lincoln this April, pretty much in line with the numbers for last April. Unit volume shows a modest increase of 4.9% year over year, which is nothing to write home about. However, what is interesting to note is that foreclosure sales have dropped 23% year over year while short sales have gained 200%. Non-distressed sales remain mainly unchanged for the same period. 2 out of 3 homes sold are currently distress sales. 

Average sold price per square foot is currently $125.85 down 11.4% from last April’s $142.07. Average sales price is $298,676, also down 11.5% year over year from a high of $337,327. Median sales price is $277,450. That’s a fall of 13.3% year over year from a high of $320,000.
