Market update at glance november 2011

By
Industry Observer with Howard Sumner Consulting

The market positives inventory down and number of sales  is closing the gap on 2010, prices are down about 3% year over year same time period.My belief is 2011 will go down as the low point in the market place this cycle and by the end of the 1st quarter we should be seeing year overyear increase in sales and at the minimum stable prices. this should help give both buyers and sellers confidence which will improve market conditions from both perspectives.
