This is the highest on record since the housing bubble burst almost 10 years ago. Overall volume cooled in 2014 compared to 2012 and 2013, however, 2015 has had higher closing volumes each month so far.
How it breaks down: Even with the increase in activity it still translated into a more even market between Buyers and Seller with no specific advantage to either party. The most active segment of the market continues to be homes priced between $400,000 and $600,000. Sellers took an approximate 2%- 3.5% reduction off the original sale price. The luxury market saw 9 homes see for the month over 1 million dollars with the highest sale recorded at $1,210,000.
