September Market Report

House sales are still going strong.  A late start in the spring, mostly due to winter weather, could be correlated to more sales as we go into fall.  Here are some interesting observations for September's sales stats.  Click here for August's report

• As could have predicted, from high amount of contracts in August, September sales were significantly higher than the previous 3 years. 
• New contracts, in September, are still higher than the previous three years.  This is a strong indicator that sales will be higher than usual in October. 
• There continues to be a strong number of houses for sale.  This could help keep the market hot later into the Winter than is customary. 
• September's sales almost closed the gap of year-to-date (YTD) sales when compared to last year.  August's YTD sales were behind by 33 in comparison to 2013.  September's YTD sales were behind by 6 in comparison to 2013.
