My thoughts: The previous week’s sales volume was something like $126 million, which must have been a mistake, since it’s up to $142 million this week, so I am not reporting it. Otherwise, things are stagnant and quiet.
FYI, year-to-date, 2007, MLS reported 4,344 condo sales with a median price of $375,000, an average price of $492,125, and total market sales volume of $2,137,792,308 . Year-to-date, 2006, MLS reported 4,168 condo sales with a median price $350,000, an average price of $444,827, and total market sales volume of $1,854,042,481. The highest priced condo cost $8,250,000 in 2007 and $4,400,000 in 2006.
The rich got richer this year, I guess …
