My thoughts: I didn’t update last year’s numbers because I think it’s good to compare the “last full week” of each year.

* IMPORTANT: Starting in January, 2009, we will begin using sales 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 11/27/2008 – 12/27/2008, and the period 11/25/2007 – 12/25/2007.
