In December of 2005 there were a total of 523 sold, this year December totals were down slightly to 456 units sold, about a 14% decrease over last years statistics and about an 11% drop over the November 2006 sales of 508 units. Although the total home sales were slightly down from December 2005 and the previous month the average sale price was up about 7% from last year and a surprising 17% increase over Novembers average sale price. So it looks as if the Spring market will be a refreshing home selling season for buyers and sellers. Indications are that there is going to be a competitive selling season as the active inventory of homes is higher than last year, so buyers will have more homes to chose from and more time to make a decision. But as always, the good ones go fast so don't be too relaxed in your buying decisions.  Check back soon for more stats.
