Home Sales On The Rise In Tallahassee MLS

As I was assembling the 12th Edition of the Tallahassee Real Estate Newsletter (which goes out to all subscribers later this morning), I was happy to find that there were good signs showing up in many of my reports. For the past three years, we have been reporting nothing but declining home sales in Tallahassee, but today finally brings a different story.

As a little preview for what subscribers will be able to find in the newsletter, the following real estate graph shows home sales activity in the Tallahassee MLS. This data represents the entire MLS, not just the immediate Tallahassee housing market. Even with all of the surrounding counties included in the report, we see good things occurring.

2. The red line shows that the number of homes for sale in the Tallahassee MLS declined again
3. The purple line shows that relative home supply (months of supply of homes) has been dropping since April
