Well the tax credit deadline has passed and we are very pleased to report that the world has in fact not ended. Far from it, actually. A considerable 28.8% year-over-year increase in Pending Sales brings the figure to 309 for this month. The more modest, yet still noteworthy, 3.8% year-over-year increase in Closed Sales brings that figure to 165 which is on par with the three-year average. These factors have combined to bring inventory down 9.4% to 1,683.
Median Sales Price remains 4.3% less than during the same period last year, but increased over $16,000 since March.
Percent of Original List Price Received has been slipping downward. On average, a seller can expect to receive 89.7% of their original list price after five and a half months on the market.
