In 2007, we had 239 homes that sold or went under contract, so we are down approximately 25% in transactions.
We are basically back to 2004 prices--
In 2004, the average sales price was approx. $670,829 with a median of $650,000, the average days on the market was 161 with a median of 136 days. In 2008, our average sales price was $640,963, with a median of $650,000, the average days on the market was 223 with a median of 170 days.
With low interest rates, reduced home prices and plenty of inventory, we are predicting a great 2009!
