The following information is from the local MLS database as of December 6, 2008, compared to (November 29, 2008) and (December 7, 2007).

My thoughts: Frozen. As you can see if you compare this week’s with last week’s (not shown here), Average sales price, last thirty days jumped up – don’t know the reason for that, I guess there were a couple high-priced units that closed.

* IMPORTANT: Starting in January, 2009, I will probably begin reporting data from LINK, not from MLSPIN. LINK data is more accurate, as its information is pulled directly from the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds.

Based on information provided to and compiled by the Multiple Listing Service Property Information Network, Inc. covering the period 11/6/2008 – 12/6/2008, and the period 11/7/2007 – 12/7/2007.
