32 properties closed in August 2012, up from last month's 22 sales. Another month of sales over 90% of asking price, too.With interest rates creeping higher, more people decided to take advantage of historic low rates.
Let's take a look at the rest of the stats:
There are 53 homes under contract right now (61 last month). This number typically winds down as summer ends and less vacation time.
The average list vs. ORIGINAL sales price was 85.91% - (last month 85.16%).
The ADJUSTED list vs sale price was 91.28 (last month 90.13%).
The current # of active/for sale listings in MRIS (minus timeshares) is 672, up from last months 622. We have a 21 month supply of homes available (minus timeshares) based solely on the August sales numbers.
Random observations:
•1 'newer' homes sold in August (5 years old or less)
•It appears that 22 or so of these sales were vacation homes
•17 homes sold at/under $300,000 (last month was 16)
•22 homes sold under $400,000 (last month 17)

•The oldest home that sold was 142 (!) yrs old (722 Turkey Neck Rd)
•The average age of the homes that sold was 26 years (37 last month)
