I agree with you -- it's indeed a very nice home and it's on an exceptionally large lot for that part of White Oaks. The lot sizes vary widely around that part of Saint Francis, much as they do on Howard and Eaton. So something as large as 7200 square feet is a rare find. I don't know why it sold below list, other than the trend over the past several weeks is showing homes close slightly below asking price (as I mentioned in the post.) Time will tell if the economic pressure is starting to weigh on the local market. Chuck Hi Kenneth,

It seemed like a nicely remodeled house on a large, attractive lot. Any thoughts about why 1912 St. Francis sold for below asking? It seemed like a nicely remodeled house on a large, attractive lot.

The numbers are down significantly for Q1'08 vs Q1'07... like 30% lower on sales volume alone. I haven't calculated the difference yet in average or median, but I will have that issue in an upcoming post. Chuck Good call — you’re absolutely right.

Probably quite a bit down year-over-year since I remember a number of homes selling in the $1.2-1.3M range last year that were not quite as nice as these.
