Wow! That's amazing given the downward national July numbers.
Kim,
Since you are a real estate agent, it should not be amazing to you. The 2009 season first half was dismal due to the bank crash. We then had a pretty good fall closing season.
This year shot out of a cannon as money loosend up and the folks sitting around with cash picked up the pieces of 2009. Also, many sellers got the memo as to where to price their homes if they ever wanted to move.
Another segment selling this year are retired folks sitting on a cool $1M in their home... their retirement investment accounts are schlock, so you have to liquify the house.
I don't expect a fall season 2010-Sept, Oct, Nov- to out preform 2009 in closings.
