Heathrow real estate sales for the year have been trending negative over 2010 however September 2011 has trended into the positive territory by increasing sales from 5 homes in 2010 to 8 homes in 2011 which is a 37% increase. Also the average price increased from $275,000 in 2010 to $407,713 which is a 48% increase. While this sound great and looks good on paper , the per sq. ft. increase was only 8%, from $122.83 in 2010 to $133.00 in 2011. The median per sq. ft. price only showed a slight increase from $128.32 to $129.00. The main reason September prices were so high is because none of the sales were distressed sales.
