You can find below the home sales data for November, 2009 within the Traverse City 5-county area (Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Antrim, Kalkaska, Benzie).
As you can see the data for last month is very promising for real estate sales in our area. Total sales are up 52% and sales volume is up 50% over November 2008. Although the data is skewed slightly due to the financial crisis last fall, November 2009 was still a great month for real estate sales in the Traverse City/ Leelanau area. The numbers are even up from October, 2009 which is unusual as activity during the winter months typically starts to slow down in November. Check back next month for year end statistics.
This report is based upon sales information obtained from the Traverse Area Multiple Listing Service from October 2009, November 2009, and November 2008. Undisclosed sales are not included in the data.
