The following information is from the local MLS database as of January 31, 2009, compared to (January 24, 2009) and (February 2, 2008).

Number of condos sold, past 30 days: 139 (148) (186)

Velocity: $51,427,645 ($53,585,721) ($110,227,297)
(Velocity is the # of units sold during last 30 days multiplied by the $ amount)

My thoughts: Under agreements jumped compared to last week, but lower than last year. The dollar amount of sales this year is less than half of last, due to the values of the foreclosed or short-sale properties.
