Many times a picture is worth a thousand words.

Note that Avg DOM = Average Days on Market.
Keeping things in perspective is so important when looking at market data. I was out with a client this last week who was asking how are sales vs last year. So I decided to look at the last 3 months of sales and add in June of last year.
Under Contract: Note we are seeing less as the season (Spring to Summer) tightens. We are still off of a year ago.
Sold: We are rising but still not at the level of a year ago.
DOM: We are very close to a year ago... This is a good thing.
Note: this is just a snapshot and each area and even each neighborhood is unique. Let me know if you have any questions?

Charles. I like your market stats. Good to see the sales are getting somewhat better in June, even though it is not much.
