23 properties sold in May 2012, down one sale from April 2012, and down 4 sales off last year’s pace. The really great news, though, is that year-to-date, 2012 has been our most active real estate market since 2008.
Let’s take a look at the rest of the stats:
There are 57 homes under contract right now (49 last month).
The average list vs. ORIGINAL sales price was 84.91% – (last month 82.25%).
The ADJUSTED list vs sale price was 88.33 (last month 89.13%).
The current # of active/for sale listings in MRIS (minus timeshares) is 662, up from last months 636. There are about 20 properties coming on the market each week this time of the year. We have a 28.78 month supply of homes available (minus timeshares) based solely on the May sales numbers.
