Let’s take a look at our inventory year to year. We had 30 fewer active listings and seven fewer new listings in 2012 than 2011. Lesser inventory tends to favor sellers, while an abundance of inventory tends to favor buyers. We feel we are still a fairly balanced market as shown in the average sold price to original list price ratio.

Lastly, a snapshot of June over the last five years is presented in the attached graphic.

It was a very solid month for us. How lucky are we to live in a part of the country and, in the Washington metropolitan area in particular, where home values remain so strong and constant! There are always exceptions to this rule, but we are in a pretty awesome place: not just our extraordinary community, but the quality of life which we enjoy. The solid real estate numbers are just a great bonus.

We hope you have the best summer ever and we will be back in touch with July numbers soon.
