Knowing the waterfront and Jamestown RI coastal real estate area is part of the RI home discovery process.  If you are buying or selling a home in coastal Jamestown RI real estate, you want to understand this local home market.   It is important to know that although real estate taxes are low here, the average price of a home is significantly higher than surrounding Washington and Newport county properties.

Here is the current Jamestown RI real estate market report provided by Ginny Lacey Gorman of RI waterfront real estate for March 2015:

Properties active and on the market this month: 78 ( 8% more homes than the prior month)                         

  • Single-family properties sold: 5 (only 1 home sold last month)
  • Average Sales price sold: $ 791,000 
  • Sales price to list price ratio: 100% 
  • Days on the market: 223
  • Sales currently pending: 4 (same as last month)

Knowing the Jamestown RI real estate market is essential if you are considering listing your home for sale or in the market to buy.  Especially if your home is in the luxury Jamestown real estate range.

Jamestown’s home absorption rate is still attempting to get out of a buyers’ real estate market with excessive home inventory.  In addition, the luxury $1 million plus Jamestown home sale market commands a large part of the homes for sale here.  

  • Jamestown’s home inventory increased by 6 homes over the prior month, days on market increased by 1 day and list price to sold price increased to 100%.
  • 5 Jamestown RI homes sold this month is as follows:   1 home sold under $300,000,3 homes greater than $400,000 and 1 home sold for over $1 million.

Jamestown RI Real Estate Market Update March 2015

Jamestown is a waterfront Newport County Rhode Island community that enjoys private real estate on a hideaway island that is unique to this ocean state.

Comparing January-March 2014 to January-March 2015 showed a 36% drop in Jamestown home sales.  This market went from 14 homes sold during this period in 2014 to 9 homes sold in 2015.  Home sold values decreased by 28%.

 

The town itself is known for its stunning coast line,  its true island feel, one of a kind Beavertail State Park and coastal luxury living by the locals.  It is a higher end community of island homes due to its geography between the towns of  Newport and North Kingstown.  The island itself is called Conanicut Island and has working farms on it, stunning landscapes of the ocean and coastlines to admire yet a small town appeal.
