Ocala and Marion County home sales were excellent in April. Total sales were only 3 less than in March which is traditionally our best month. Things tend to slow down after the snowbirds go home but this year feels different. Active listings have gone down again. This is part of a gradual decline that started in early 2011. If you go back through old market reports you will see that foreclosures are half the number we had in April 2011. With both active listings and foreclosures going down it’s hard not to think that our market is finally recovering.
