SALES BY MONTH
The 1st table shows monthly unit sales for existing homes for 2006 through YTD 2010 with annual totals and percent gains compared to the previous year. New home sales, which represent 42% of total home sales in the county, posted gains in 2006 close to 10% eclipsing 2005's 3.3% gain (see link button at the bottom of this page "Coweta New Home Market Watch") but 2007 thru 2009 is a whole new story with new home sales collapsing. For existing homes, prior to August 2007 we had dodged the bullet of declining sales seen in most other markets with unit sales marginally ahead of the same period in '06. However, the significant decline beginning in August brought 2007 sales below '06 by 7.5%. 2008 saw decreased sales go into overdrive with the annual drop in unit sales of 27.8%, the biggest 1 year drop since we began keeping records. Good news is that 2009 and 2010 closed above the previous year by 2.3% and 5.4% respectively. However, a caveat to what appears to be the beginning of a recovery has been unnaturally fueled by the tax credits offered by the Feds which was extended and expanded through Sept 30, 2010.
In addition to the 116 existing homes sold in Apr '11, 25 new homes sold for a total of 141 homes sold.
