Local Market Update - May 2013

The local real estate market in May remained active, however, it leveled off just a bit. Residential sales  volume, coming off April's high of 188 residential housing unit sales, totaled 181 units in the month of May.  This unit total includes single family residences, multiple family residences and individual residential condominium units.
