Good news! As of 6/21/10 Monmouth County single-family home sales are up 23.5% over last year's figures for the same period.
Increases were seen across the board in almost every price tier with particular emphasis in the higher price ranges. The first-home buyer tax credit doesn't appear to have made much of an impact in here as elsewhere in the country, although maybe some of the trade-up sales activity was due to the resale tax credit.
Probably most impressive is that the largest gains were in the $1.5 - $2 million range which showed a sales increase of 87.5%! And sales $2 million and above rose a whopping 71%!
First half of the year stats will be made available soon... let me know if you have a specific area or town that you'd like information on.
Thank you for the update in your area,
Wishing you the best on future sales!
