Properties Sold
We are continuing to see more properties close. As you can see above the last two months are the first two months of the year where the sold properties outpace the previous two years sold properties. So far this month we have had 28 properties close. When you look below you will see it is not as strong compared to the flood of new listings, however, compared to last two years, that is good volume. In 2011 September had 53 closings, and in 2010 there were 46 closings.
New Listings
As you can see above we are just two weeks into September and we have a huge increase already over the last two years, and already over last months. I am intrigued to see if that will send a flurry of activity over the fresh properties or if it will continue to add to the excess inventory.

Year to Date Sold
In the past two weeks we saw a good number of properties sell. There were three price ranges that saw a higher percentage than the others. We saw about a 10% growth in these three price ranges. In the past two weeks four properties sold in the 0-$500K range bringing the year to date total to 46. We saw six properties sell in the $1M-$1.5M range bringing the total to 66. We also saw three properties sell in the $3M-$4M bringing the year to date total to 35.
Year to Date Available
In an effort to define the different markets as a good time to buy or sale I believe one needs to look at the months on average it would take to sell through the inventory we have. We are currently 36 weeks through the year. In the $0-$500K range we have 7.04 months on average to sell through. $500K-$1M we have 6.41 months. In the $1M-$1.5M we have 10.19 months. $1.5M-$2M we have 9.56 months. $2M-$3M we have 12.04 months. This is half of a month's drop in just two weeks. There was a two week drop as well in the last newsletter meaning in the last three weeks we have dropped a month of inventory in this price range. $3M-$4M we have 17.08 months which is a six week drop in just the past two weeks. $4M-$5M we have 29.9 months. $5M-$7.5M we have 27.1 months. $7.5-$10M we have 33.21 months. This is a seven month decreas but is realistically one property selling in this price range. $10M and above we have 38.2 months.
