In December of 2007, the total number of sales was 49. Previous year sales comparisons will be published in the next few days. We are not unlike many areas of the country – - sales are down, days on market are high, absorption rates are ‘excessive,’ and increased reductions in inventory are the result of homes being pulled off the market as opposed to being sold.
