Note that it can be a challenge to use this data to know exactly what it means for your property or the property you are considering purchasing. A great example of this is an area like Potato some areas had a huge increase 450% on a price per foot basis (Potato Patch SF) and others a huge decrease (-35% East Vail SF). This is due to the relatively small sample sizes, the variety in the square footage of properties sold as well as the variation in quality and age of construction in many of the sales from year-to-year. This can make it a challenge to know exactly what these figures mean for your particular property. For that reason, it is always best to get a tailored evaluation regarding your particular residence to see how you compare to the actual recent solds in your neighborhood in terms of location, age, size and quality of construction.
