Market reports give a really good grounding on what's going on in your market and it looks like the increase in sales from last year is a good sign for your area!
Bill your market report must be a hit in Holliston MA, you always provide the community with a consistent and informative real estate data. Looks like you are slightly a head in unit sales for the year when compared to same time last year, Aalthough the average sale priced dropped.
That 1% drop in price is insignificant, but the 20% increase in transactions is very significant.
Bill, nice report and good to see there is a small increase in sales for the year....hope sales continue upward. Sales in my area is usually good in the fall, but really slow in the winter.
Nice to see good news! Interesting times, for sure. (And you are right about my favorite song!).
Bill I tend to focus more on units sold than most other data, because that is what seems to affect my end of the business most. Hopefully next month you will see an increase in that area rather than the decrease that you have reported in your last three market reports.
Bill:
I am surprised to see 2010 lagging 2009.

Bill.. I will agree.. this is a good market report, and it's good that sales have picked up some. But I am confused, some above said sales increased and some said sales decreased. I know you had mentioned that August was a tad down, but overall for the year was a tad up. Did I get that right? lol SInce others now have me confused.. or did they stop with the August comparison of last year.
Hi Bill,
Looking at your numbers it sounds like a reflection of the NAR sales report for 2010.
When it comes to Metrowest, MA real estate you're certainly on top of you game!
Jeff - the market overall has been fairly flat although there is some evidence starting to build that values may be creaping downward. Many of the people that look at the stats fail to realize they are just looking at one month of data and draw conclusions from that.
Everyone thanks for all your comments on my Holliston MA Real Estate report!
