What's going on in the Champaign County, IL real estate market?

You might think that the holidays and the nearing year-end would equate to a slow month of real estate sales, and some years it might...but not this November! Total units sold increased tremendously for the month compared to November 2011 and the average sale price saw a marked increase, as well (though, I will once again point out that the average sale price can fluctuate greatly from month to month and does not necessarily indicate an actual rise or fall in prices).

The absorption rate is also relatively low for this time of the year due to a lower inventory of homes on the market compared to recent years and increased sales. In fact, our absorption rates from March through the present have been the most stable numbers we've seen in several years. It certainly looks as though we've been in the process this year of a slow and steady recovery.
