last year at this time.
New construction sales continue to show significant increases. Through July this year sales total 402 compared
to 245 last year, an increase of 64.1%
CONCLUSION: What this all means is that the amount of home sales is up, and while listing inventory has been lower then over the past few years it is increasing as more people are putting their homes up for sale. Prices through the year have headed up versus the previous years, but as of most recently appear to be at or just under last year for the month. This could be due to the point increase in interest rates. This could be because of a number of other factors such as economic, employment, lending availability, etc...We will have to continue to watch things very carefully.
Bottom line however is this: Right now we are seeing some stability in the market at around and below average and medium price levels. As you get into the higher price ranges in super luxury properties inventory rates, in terms of amount of time it would take to sell the amount of homes in this range that are active on the market, are much higher.
