August 2012 Market Update


           Well, we can add this August as yet another reason for optimism about the Summit County Real Estate Market.  The month of August saw 137 residential transactions which is a 32% increase from the 104 transaction in August 2011!  Furthermore, the average sales price rose 5% from $521,585 in August 2011 to $545,190 in August 2012!
           
            When comparing 2011 and 2012 year to date, there is reason for optimism as well.  Transactions have come up 20% from 619 through the end of August 2011 to 741 in 2012.  However, with over a years worth of inventory, the average sales price has remained relatively flat dropping 1% from $527,650 in 2011 to $521,697 this year.  Nevertheless, with transactions on the rise and many markets beginning to see appreciation, there is a lot of reason to think there are good things to come.
