Wow May was the best month so far this year with 410 closed deals in Marion County. The big deal is you’d expect March to be the big month because of contracts written during snowbird season. I’m not at all a natural optimist like some real estate agents but even I think the market is turning around. You’ll also notice that foreclosures are down at only 79 sales. A year ago we were around 150 closings per month. Active listings have stopped their steady decline and seem to be going up and down. If you like statistics past market reports are in this link. Now is the time to buy. There is no where to go but up from here.
