After posting the 1st Quarter results for ’09, ’08, and ’07, I thought I’d make the three year comparison a regular post for both month to month and also year to date.  After all, I have the data despite the fact it can be depressing. So here goes:

Some of the good news in April was the increased activity above the $400,000 price range. This trend appears to be continuing in May, since we are seeing a greater number of “pending” sales at the higher price points. And yes, the difference between April ’07 and April ’09 is 47 %  fewer sales. Tomorrow I’ll post the year to date numbers for the last 3 years.
