Rough Hollow Home Sizes Are Shrinking Slightly

Is the average home in Rough Hollow getting smaller? A look at the last six months of data suggests a slight shift toward more compact living spaces. ALEX Intelligence analyzed 43 closed sales to track size trends over time. The median living area for homes sold in this rolling window is 3,621 square feet. This represents a 2.8% increase compared to the prior six-month period, where the median was 3,522 square feet. However, when comparing against the same six-month window one year ago, the median size has decreased by 0.8%, dropping from 3,650 square feet. This fluctuation indicates that while recent sales have seen a small uptick in size compared to the immediate past, the overall trend over the last year shows a modest contraction in average home footprint. The data reflects a market where buyers are purchasing homes that are slightly smaller on average than they were a year ago, even as prices continue to rise. The median price per square foot for these sales is $302.41, up 15.0% from the prior period and 4.2% higher than last year. This suggests that while homes are becoming slightly smaller on average, the value per unit of space remains strong. The sample size of 43 closed sales provides a reliable view of current inventory trends in this specific community. Understanding these shifts helps buyers and sellers gauge whether the market is favoring larger estates or more efficient floor plans. As inventory levels shift, the balance between home size and price point continues to evolve for those looking at Rough Hollow properties. Want a closer look?
