Some strong numbers to talk about this week. Usually the market statistics tend to decrease in most   aas the winter months approach however, the "Ships Start Here" contract might have sparked some early market activity (see my earlier blog prediction). The Sales to List ratio is the highest its been in weeks and the sales are also quite high for this time of year. Lots of new listings this week which reflects the first of the month expired listings renewal routine. Time will tell if this is just early market excitement or the beginning of the new market trend. If you missed it, I reported on multi-residential listings (scroll down) earlier this week with some interesting facts, graphs and statistics about this market type. I also published the October Residential Market Monthly Stats on Tuesday (scroll down to view).
