We have compiled sales and listings statistics for the period running from January 19th to January 26th, and released them in this easy to read format!  If you have any further questions or require more detail please get in touch with us.  New listing figures continued to carry a post-holiday momentum, and consumer confidence remains the key issue as sales volumes stay well below seasonal averages.

The influx of post-holiday listings continues this week as we believe it will through February.  Sales volume continues to lag leaving us with an over-abundance of listings on the market with relatively minimal buyer response.  Sales were down to 38 from 44; the number remains well below seasonal norms.  We can only hope consumer confidence issues ease somewhat, and allow for a greater amount of transactions.  The sales to listing ratio fell a single percent to [38 : 237] or 16%.  Of those sales the majority of product moved in the $300,000 to $600,000 price bracket.  New listing continued their return to pre-holiday levels.
