A Very Strong May
By any measure one could use, May was a very
strong month. From the latter months of 2008 and all during 2009, the
year to year comparisons have been awful. I did not like reporting
them either. Some thought I was too negative. But facts are facts, and
my readers tell me they want to know reality. And this month the
reality is great!
20 lots and single family homes went under contract in May. For the
first time since last October, the year to year comparison was
positive, strongly positive. The equivalent May number in 2008 was 12,
60% of 2009's transactions. In dollar terms, comparisons were even
better, with $22 million under contract this year compared to only
$8.3 million the year before. For some time now we have been reporting
that sales were concentrated well below the million dollar level. That
also is starting to change. Almost half of the contracts this May were
over $1 million compared to only 8% last year.
I was fortunate this month as well, involved in 40% of the lots and
single family homes and 46% of the dollar value under contract. While
there is often a pause after a hot month like May, I am convinced that
the positive trend will continue. It's about time!
