We all hear how "bad" the market is right now, but do you ever look at the actual numbers?  I know that I frequently overlook them & their importance, but sometimes I will check them out & be pleasantly surprised.  Just for kicks, I thought I'd post the recent statistics for the Mid-Willamette Valley. 

These stats are for the month of November, 2008 - cover Linn & Benton counties, and were pulled from our local MLS - Willamette Valley Multiple Listing Service, based in Salem, OR:

Being a former accountant I love statistics and think they are really helpful for sellers when trying to understand why their house hasn't sold or how long their house may be on the market.  We're seeing lots of activity as of late -- hope you are too!
