bainbridge housing market: Fewer closings but quicker sales - 09/16/10 08:10 AM
Closed Transactions September 8-14

Closings were down during this week compared to the same dates last year.
Except for Bainbridge, which closed a $2M+ transaction and thus skewed the numbers, selling prices were lower.  
Selling times were less except for Bainbridge, again with skewed numbers--relatively pricey homes take much longer to sell.
Overall, buyers offered more relative to list prices than last year.

If you'd like the selling details of the home that closed in your neighborhood,  just ask.
