Sloan's Lake Neighborhood: 2022 in Review

Every year, I put my stats hat on and review the real estate happenings of the year for the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood. This year, there were far fewer transactions to sort through— 40% less than last year— but the findings were interesting as always. With two weeks left in the year, there are just 15 active listings in the neighborhood and six transactions pending. I mentioned this last year, but as a reminder, when I say “sold in 15 days”, I’m referring to the stat for ‘Days in MLS’. So, ‘sold in 15 days’ means it took 15 days from when the house was active in the MLS to when it went under contract.
 

Without Further Ado, Here’s a Recap of What Happened in 2022.

 

Total Number of Sloan’s Lake Homes Sold in 2022: 165

​​​​​​​96 were Single Family, 6 were condos and 63 were multi-family homes (townhouse, half duplex, triplex or quadplex). The number of total sales in the neighborhood was down 40% from 2021
 
  • Average Sale Price: $1,032,308

These stats are pertaining to the Sloan’s Lake neighborhood only. In other market updates, I will compare the entire market and/or the 80211 and 80212 zip codes, but this is ONLY for the boundaries of the neighborhood. Essentially, the east and west boundaries are Federal and Sheridan and the north south boundaries are 29th and 17th Avenue. There is a small cut out on the east side of the lake, from Meade to Federal, where the southern border is on 19th vs. 17th Avenue.
