There has been a significant amount of news coverage lately on home sale statistics. The Illinois Association of Realtors (IAR) recently announced record sales levels for October. On a more local level we are continuing to see the seasonal effect typical of this time of year, although market activity remains strong over the same period a year ago.

Homes Under Contract, 20 vs 29, down 16.9%. We have seen a bit of a slowdown in homes going under contract. This is typical of the seasonal nature of real estate. This is the first down month after 7 consecutive months on the uptick. Homes Sold went from 29 12 weeks ago to 20 or a decrease of 32.7%. Again, this is not unusual give the time of year. On a year over year basis, Homes Sold are up 16.2% over the same period one year ago. That is good news for the long term.

Continuing the trend started last month, Homes For Sale decreased almost 17% from 1090 to 907. With fewer homes on the market, we should begin to see some stabilization in pricing.

Median Price for Homes Sold in November 09 is down 5.2% from $408,210 to $387,162 This change is probably more a function of which properties are selling . The median for Homes Under Contract however, dropped from $424,462 to $405,554 – a decrease of 4.5%. Median List Price remained relatively flat: $489,400 vs $491,217.

The Market Action Index is broken out by market quartiles this month and reflects different activity levels for each market segment. The lower priced homes have seen the most stability in activity, tier two the second most, and so on. the high end luxury market continues to move at the slowest pace.
