For the first time in a long time the total number of home sales in the Greater Columbia area dropped from the previous year. Even though mortgage rates were below 6.5% the entire year Columbia's sales were off by more than 2,000 units.

The Columbia area sales of Condos and Patio Homes were also down over 20% while Townhome sales dipped only slightly. The surprising number to me is the drop in patio home sales because the number of new patio home communities has really increased the last couple of years and I thought sales had been fairly brisk for the under $135K market.

All sales figures used in this article are per Ron Bouknight, number cruncher extraordinaire.

More store closings, layoffs and auto industry problems are grabbing all the headlines recently. One silver lining in this recession is the number of larger homes that are selling for waaaaay less than just a year ago. It's not uncommon to find 3,000 plus square foot homes like this one in Blythewood selling for under $75/SF. !!!!

With prices at bargain levels and 30 year fixed rate mortgages in the 5.5% range now could be an opportune time for those buyers with large families. I believe the housing recovery will begin in neighborhoods near good schools.
