Previous Year's Comparison

The Majority of Sellers were Private Owners, although there was a slight increase in the Foreclosure Market from the previous year.  (from 11 to 15)

Homes priced under $200,000 were still the favorites, while homes in between 200K -300K did better than the previous year (4 more houses sold)  but we saw a 47% decrease in sales in homes priced over 300K.

Most buyers went with Conventional Financing, but … (12 comments)

There is no “round to it” clause in a Real Estate Contract. - 02/16/12 11:45 AM
There is no “round to it” clause in a Real Estate Contract.
TIME is the essence of a real estate contract.
 
Dates  and deadlines are in place for the benefit of the buyer;  allowing the buyer ample time to apply for financing, inspect the property and the title documents, negotiate replacement or repair of any unsatisfactory items disclosed by an inspection, obtain and review an appraisal, survey and all loan conditions, among other things.  It can be a little overwhelming for some and it does require a bit of time.

But their loss is your gain.
