Please follow the links to the statistics for October 2009. As you can see we are still behind last year in number of homes sold and dollar volume. However for September, October and November we had more units close than we did last year. This could be attributed to the first home buyer tax credit and the new tax credit for move up buyers. The full picture on that won’t become apparent until the tax credits expire next year. Hopefully by then the economy will be closer to recovery.
