December? Boy, looking at these numbers makes me almost believe we’ve bottomed out. More single family unit sales than November, October, or September. The Sales Price/List Price showed little discounting. And maybe the best number … units for sale were down 1,300 from November and over 2,700 from August. We’re at a very manageable inventory level presently. Maybe this is like our national unemployment number and not reflecting those who have given up trying to sell their home, but it sure makes things look better when there is less inventory. Time will tell as we progress into 2011.
