North Shore Home Sales – 2009 Summary
Here’s the data for North Shore single family home sales for total year 2009 vs. 2008. The year-end snapshot doesn’t tell the whole story, though, since the market was pretty dead in the first half of 2009 and only started picking up in the second half of the year. So, the trend in units sold is actually much more positive than the total year number indicates. Unfortunately, the improved sales trend has also been accompanied by lower prices and longer market time.
