Columbus and Central Ohio Multiple Listing Service announced its November 2008 numbers on Monday and they continued to slump.
The sold listings were off by more-than 26% while the average sales price was down by 16%.
Of all the numbers, one of the most interesting is that the days on market has fallen by 18% - or 21 days - compared to November last year.
Year-to-date, the numbers continue to be off our pace from 2007. However, they are not nearly as extreme as Novembers. Average sales price is down less than 5% while the number of sold listings is down by just over 13%.
Why the sharp drop in November?
What does that mean for the future?
Well, in December I think the numbers will continue to be sharply off compared to 2007. But, the current interest rates appear to be creating an up-tick in the market. If, and a big if, buyer confidence begins to return then we could see a bounce back in the first quarter of 2009.

Toby is:
Coming from the world of academia, I'm nervous about the "area of expertise" section. For it always seems that the further one goes up the "expertise" ladder, the less they know about the basic areas of the industry. And in my short real estate career, I've found this to be true in real estate as well.
But does that mean I have no skills? No. Just that I'd rather build a strong base and give customers the best possible service without hindering my abilities in other areas. I enjoy working with first-time buyers and anyone else for that matter. This is a people business, and well the only area of expertise I'll claim -- is that I'm an expert people person.
I am specializing on the greater north-central Ohio market -- from Columbus to Mt. Gilead, from Marysville to Mt. Vernon.
What are others saying about Toby?
"Being a first time home buyer, my fiance and I were looking for a realtor that we could trust and who would treat us like we were buying a $3 million dollar home. We were looking during a time period where home sales were beginning to slump and didn't want to get stuck with a realtor who would overlook things to simply get a deal done. Toby took the time to listen to and flow with our ever changing wants and desires which was probably pretty frustrating, but did it with a smile on his face. Whenever we needed something, Toby was always there and was personally available where with other realtors you're lucky to get a call back from in 24 hours. Toby was very knowledgeable about the loan process, house structure history etc. If he didn't know an answer he didn't build false hope, he simply took the time to research the right answer and got back to us quickly. We're very thankful that Toby was able to provide his time and energy to direct us in the home buying process."
