31 homes sold in August, down slightly from August 2010, where we sold 32 homes and up from July, where we sold 24. It was one of the better months we’ve had recently, and low interest rates should continue to fuel real estate growth.

Let’s take a look at the rest of the stats:

There are 73 homes under contract right now (64 last month).

The average list vs. ORIGINAL sales price was 85.39% – down from last month (88.25%).

The ADJUSTED list vs sale price was 92.91%, up from last month (91.58%).

The current # of active/for sale listings in MRIS (minus timeshares) is 785, down from last months 810. We have a 25.32 month supply of homes available (minus timeshares) based solely on the August sales numbers. This number is down significantly from last month’s 33.75 month supply.

Random observations:

•7 ‘newer’ homes sold in August (5 years old or less)
