western livingston parish: Disturbing Home Sales Trends For Walker Louisiana August 2011 vs 2012 - 09/16/12 10:54 AM
Walker Louisiana Home Sales Trends August 2011 versus August 2012 for ALL Homes, Existing and New Construction.
What's disturbing about these trends? 
While the median sold price is up 11% and average days on market is down 34%, the number of sold homes is down 32%, months supply of inventory is up 41% and the number of homes under contract is down 38%.  With months of inventory up 41%, it doesn't appear these fewer home sales are due to lower supply. 



 
Median Sold Price by MonthAug-11 vs. Aug-12: The median sold price is up 11%
