How does this compare to 2006?

Not well. Not well at all.Delaware County’s prices are down 12 percent from September 2006 and the number of homes sold is down 30 percent from the same time.

But, 2006 was the “popping point” for the market. The 2007 numbers are down from what we’ve come to expect but are really much closer to traditional norms.

The sales numbers go back to the early 2000s, while the average price is comparable to the 2004 and 2005 numbers.

Year Sales Price
2007 162 $272,184
2006 227 $308,799
2005 257 $279,702
2004 232 $276,689
2003 244 $249,524
2002 178 $261,564
2001 165 $235,500
2000 165 $229,576

I’ll be very curious to see what this spike of 90 degree days does for October sales. Well, we’ll answer that in two months…
