I get my sales statistics from a monthly report from the Ocala board of Realtors. It always has a comparison to the same month last year. I usually don’t pay much attention to the year to year thing but today something jumped out to me. Even though sales were almost the same with 500 homes this month and 499 a year ago the gross sales and the median sold price jumped up. The median sold price was $156,000 this year and $130,000 last year. Total dollar volume this year was 91.1 M and last year only 76.8 M . Prices are going up.
