Sales are Way Up from This Time Last Year!

The news is good for the monthly Market Action Report from RMLS. Comparing April 2010 with April 2009, closed sales increased 49.1%.  Pending sales also jumped 60.8%, and new listings rose 23.8%. Prices are still going down, so far the average sale price for April 2010 decreased 3.1% compared to April 2009, while the median sale price went down 4%. This is much less than the national average. Prices should go down even farther this summer, since the April numbers reflect the tax credits for first time and moving buyers. I expect sales to go up in May, but down in June and July.
