Mark down the summer of 2013 as a trifecta for the Flagstaff real estate market.
With August sales figures now in, the market racked up three straight months with median sales prices above $300,000, according to data from the Northern Arizona Association of Realtors multilisting service.
The median price in August for a detached single-family house came in at $304,000 for Flagstaff and its surrounding communities.
That is up 21 percent from a year ago, and the number of sales is up 14 percent.
Median prices haven’t topped $300,000 since 2008, before the financial markets crashed and the recession started that fall.
