Real Estate Trends in Alachua County – January 2010

We normally see a drop in the number of sales and a small increase in prices for January, which is true again this year (the average sale price for homes went up by about $5k). The good news is that the number of home sales increased by about 15% compared to Jan a year ago while the number of condo sales increased by 77% to 16 sales.
