Some slight changes to the Market Stats I'm presenting.  First off I am now showing, based on previous averages) how many homes are selling, as a percentage per month, this month 14.5% of homes trying to sell actually did.  That alone should indicate to you just how tough it is to have your home among the masses be one of the chosen ones.  This isn't to scare any current or potential sellers, you simply have to know what your general odds are in relation to the rest of your competition.  See the chart I posted earlier today to graphically show you the difference between the homes that are trying to sell, and the number that actually is selling on a per month basis.  

Also, I'm reaching back to 2004 for my weekly rundown of Year to Date sales numbers.  Going back only two years to 2006 didn't seem to cast enough perspective on the market as 2006 was a peak year.  Yes, things are slower by a large margin, but we've still lost very little in terms of percentage price per sale.  Note too, that our Supply of homes number stands at 6.9 months, a .7 month increase.
