Condos and Townhomes:


Condo and townhouse sales were up 50%. The average sales price fell by 4% and the median sales price dropped by 16%. Looks like the majority of the sales were in the lower price ranges thus pulling the averages down. Pending sales jumped 54%. The number of new listings climbed by 19% but this did not help the active listings which declined  by 43%. the months of inventory dropped to 1.6 months. The last several months have seen a sharp decline in the number of units on the market. It appears that investors have been buying the lower priced units to use as rental properties.
