A local realtor I'm not familar with, Lenore Wilkas, had a nice fact-filled piece in the Sunday Examiner.  There's no link on the site, but here are some interesting factoids about our local market:

• B'game has a total of 7218 homes.  B'game Hills has total of 421 homes.  That's 7639 possiblities for home ownership in the B'game area.
• Currently there are 63 active listings in the City of B'game (.9%) and 7 in the Hills (1.7%).  She notes that that's a low number which is why the prices are up and have been up all year and she is not seeing a lot of distressed sales.
• Median price of a B'game real estate is $1.135M and price per square foot is around $625.
• Lots aren't huge in most areas, with 6,000 square feet the usual size in the Easton Addition, but closer to downtown in Burlingame Park, lots are over 7,000 square in size.

Good update—thanks, Lenore.
