2007 vs. 2008 housing comparison
Statistics don’t lie … 2008 wasn’t pretty for real estate, and Athens Realtors were not spared. My personal production was not off much, but the overall sales statistics are tough to swallow (See chart above for residential sales production. Statistics taken from Athens, GA MLS and include Clarke and all surrounding counties).
I broke down the numbers by price range, but the total figures are staggering … 3605 total sales in for just over $666 million in 2007 … only 2451 sales for approximately $452 million in 2008. That’s a 30+ percent drop in number of units sold and gross volume sold.
Let’s all wish for a Happier New Year in 2009 (-:
