Note: These statistics are based on sales processed through the Sudbury Real Estate Board. In 2012, another local brokerage joined our board which increased reported sale numbers.
Summary:
As shown above unit sales for SFR's are down year-to-date. Note that even though the sales appear to be close to 2008 & 2011, we now have another brokerage contributing to the statistics. Therefore we actually could have had the slowest start in the last 5 years.
What is more concerning is the minimal amount of inquiries.
There is certainly time left in our selling season, therefore we will hopefully experience a recovery.
