Year to date sales are quickly reaching the same totals we saw in 2008.

  • Y-T-D sales totals in June 2008, were 4296, and Y-T-D June 2009, sales totals were 3894. A 10% difference between the two years.
  • Average sales prices are down from 2008 by 12%, and median sales price is down by 13%.
  • Actives for the month of June 2009, are up 2.3% over May 2009's numbers
  • Sales for the month of June 2009, are up 6% over May 2009's numbers.

The sub-prime market crashed in the summer of 2008. To see numbers this good is really encouraging for a recovery soon. Even though some of the activity has been stimulated by the New Home Buyer Tax Credit that will end December 2009.

Happy 4th of July (Fireworks over the Capitol)

Happy 4th of July! It's a great day in America. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Capitol 4th Fireworks

Fireworks over the Capitol building, the Washington Memorial, and the Potomac River. Can you just hear the Stars & Stripes Forever? I love to watch the fireworks from the Capitol each 4th of July. Such a patriot and stiring festival. I only wish I could be there in person.
