For Week Ending October 13, 2012
Publish Date: October 22, 2012 • All comparisons are to 2011
Housing pessimism is as out of fashion nowadays as bell bottoms and shoulder pads. Those who are still fishing for that elusive "market bottom" have likely missed it in most areas. The major story continues to be tightened inventory and high buyer turnout. Homes should be selling faster and for closer to list price – or even above in the hottest neighborhoods. Continue to monitor key differences between the foreclosure and traditional segments as well as variability between the single-family and condo markets.

• New Listings increased 7.3% to 1,252
• Pending Sales increased 26.7% to 954
