June 2010 residential real estate sales volume in Athens - Clarke County, GA slid 3% in June from May 2010 sales volume. However, this is still 2% higher volume than the the same period last year and 13% higher than the lows of last September. While down, this is not a indicating a negative trend nor a major weakening of the Athens-Clarke County housing market. However, the July volumes, which will come out later this month, will be a better indicator of the market. A positive indicator is that the D.O.M. (days on market) remained the same, 192 days, which is the low for the last year.
Both the average and median sales price of homes were down slightly from May .This is probably driven by two factors: 1) the number of foreclosures and short sales on the market; 2) first time and repeat homebuyers taking advantage of the $8000 and $6500 tax credits respectively.
At the end of June there were 126 pending sales of residential property in Athens - Clarke County. Residential properties include single family homes, duplexes, triplexes, condos, townhouses, mobile and manufactured homes.
