Over the recorded series, Bay Tree Cottages’s median sold price moved from $260,000 (2012) to $510,000 (12 months ending 2026-08-31) — +96% over that span, with every year’s figure from recorded closings, not a model.
The recorded series starts in 2012 at $260,000. Annual sales volume here has ranged from 0 to 8 closings a year (10-yr average 4.4). With roughly 4.4 closings a year, Bay Tree Cottages’s medians move in steps, not curves — a handful of unusual sales can swing a year, which is why the sales count sits next to every figure above.
