Market Activity Heats Up in July

The market bounced back from the little breather it took during the month of June.  Sales volume in July was up 13.28% over last month, climbing up to 145 transactions from the 128 transactions posted in June, erasing just a bit more than half of the sales volume drop that occured from May to June.  Also worth noting is that sales volume was up 21.85% when compared to July 2011.  This, seemingly, is a pretty healthy sign for the local real estate market, seeing that July is well within the traditional summer vacation season and people are generally a bit more focused on summer fun and festivities than they are about housing. 

While the median sale price dipped 5.38% to $204,850. we saw a spike in the mean sale price in June, up 30.13% to $331,392.  Taking a closer look at the sales, we note one $10,000,000. +  pending sale, comprised of  the 50 acre ocean front  Truesdale Farm property on Brayton Pt. Rd. in the town of Westport.

They reveal monthly activity for  residential properties that went under agreement from  07/01/2012 through to  07/31/2012 in our local market area as serviced by the H3MLS-Property Information Network.
