Even in a town whose reputation is built on seclusion and unspoiled nature, the lushness of Skyfarm’s wooded hills and flora stand out. Its narrow, curving roads wind through a topography that makes large scale residential development difficult, which is why the neighborhood’s homes are generally newer than those in surrounding neighborhoods. Outside of a few pre-war residences, Skyfarm real estate dates back no further than the 1970s.

2021 was a good time for the real estate market in Skyfarm, where homes last year sold for an average of $6.972 million, thanks to a pair of eight-figure sales that comprised 22% of the eight total neighborhood sales for the year. This means a 47% average price increase (37% median) that would still be a significant 15.1% if you removed those two $10 million-plus sales. Overall, Skyfarm buyers paid $1,360 per square foot in 2021, an increase of 32% from 2020, and paid 103.4% of asking price, compared to 95.3% in 2020. Average DOM fell a dizzying 84%, from 100 in 2020 (when a single sale skewed the overall average) to 16 in 2021.
