Ouch! What a difference a month makes. Last month's Soddy Daisy real estate report was looking pretty darn good. This month, it's looking pretty painful. The $100-200k range makes up the bulk of this market and it saw only 5 little bitty closings last month. Ironically, the $200-400k range is looking better than a lot of places. It had the same number of sales (5) as the lower price point, but with half the inventory. As with some of the other smaller areas that I do these reports on, you have to consider the fact that just a couple of sales up or down causes some pretty wild fluctuations in the absorption rate (# of months to sell current homes for sale at last month's pace) and I think that's really what we're seeing here. I'm just not sure if the anomaly was last month, or this one...
