As you can see in the chart above the sales have dropped significantly and the average sales price has dropped by 14% from 2007. Some of the contributing factors include the amount of competition; increase in the amount of distressed properties (foreclosure and short sale properties) and less buyers in the market.

We will start to see an improvement when the economy stabilizes and more jobs are created keeping the foreclosures and short sales from continuing at the current pace. On a positive note, 2 more homes sold for the year and the average sales price increased $27,690 or 9% increase over 2009. The average time on market decreased by 3 days to 84 days versus 87 days for 2009.
