Market Activity for November 29-December 5, 2010

Moving into the full logistics of the holidays, market activity slowed down significantly last week. We had 7 new listings, 2 pending sales, and 6 closed sales.

We receive a weekly accounting of lockbox activity every Monday. It consists of a tally of the number of times that lockboxes were opened and the percentage change from the week prior. Last week saw a 39% decrease. So showings are way down. Having said that, I always like to point out that while there may be fewer buyers out looking, those that are doing so at the holidays are serious buyers. People don’t take the time to look at this time of year unless they are motivated to buy.
