So far this year, 2012 shows a 0% increase from last year in the number of NEW listings at 687 average homes. In 2011, we averaged 1035/mo active homes on the market year-to-date; however, in 2012 we are averaging 934/mo. That is a 10% decrease in our inventory. Now is a great time to buy a home with many motivated sellers out there. Our market did turn in September of 2007 and sales have not been the same since then. However, in comparison to other areas of the country we are holding good and home prices are still appreciating ever so slightly just not at the pace people became accustomed to in the past years. Despite all the national media talk, our market is still more balanced than most. Days on market are up 14% and the average sales price in our market has dropped by 2%.
