That\u2019s the highest price paid in more than a decade, topping the average price of $135,371 per unit set in 2007.<br \/>\nThat record price is especially surprising considering sales are still well below their 2005 peak \u2026\u201d<br \/>\nGood news for Pacific Northwest real estate markets continues to mount.
