monthly market stats

below are the market numbers through may 31st 2009. i have already posted my commentary about the market performance. i believe it will interesting to watch both the local and national markets for how the perform the rest of the summer. i already know that just the raw numbers will show improvement because June in Billings was when the home sales started to go negative. my next months post will look at the event carefully.
