Ok here come the first of the statistics comparing 2007 to 2006. First of a bunch of statistics we hope to have posted here in the next week or so.

2007 - Closed - 401 Properties
2006 - Closed - 439 Properties
Down 38 Properties or 8.7% (not as bad as the media would have you believe)

2007 - Days on Market - 115
2006 - Days on Market - 94
Up 21 days or 22% (certainly not good, but not horrible either)

Highest price property sold in 2007 - $556,646
Highest price property sold in 2006 - $417,000
A big gain here

Lowest price property sold in 2007 - $23,578

Down a bit here

Average Sale Price 2007 - $169,524

Down a bit here last year and down from 2005 (but even here we are not down horribly far)

We will be going into much more depth on these statistics and will be posting them here as we calculate the numbers.

If you have any questions about the numbers or where we get the data from, please leave us a comment here or drop us an e-mail at info@BartleyGroup.com
