We just finished compiling our monthly statistical package for September. A recent network upgrade put us behind the curve for a week or so, but we're caught up now.
Our property records data base shows that through September, the sale market in Monroe County continues steady and is off about 20% from a year ago.
Total deed recordings in September were 165, compared to 210 in September 2007. For the year to date period, there were 1821 deed recordings compared to 2293 in 2007. Only deeds judged to represent a residential, commercial or vacant land sale transaction are included. Quit-Claim Deeds, deeds between related parties and Sheriff's Deeds, for example, are not counted.
Judging from media reports, we're faring much better than some other parts of the country. Actually, has anyone ever fared worse than media reports about anything? I don't think so.
Here's a chart that shows the last four years of so. If you like to receive our complimentary monthly statistical package, send an email to Tammy Walker , our Vice President of Sales.
