Methow Valley Real Estate Sales Activity Report May 2012

As I predicted a few months ago, the market has seen a change. Nationally here is what the NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun has to say: “The uptrend in home sales is in line with all of the underlying fundamentals – pent-up household formation, record-low mortgage interest rates, bargain home prices, sustained job creation and rising rents.”

Our Methow Valley real estate market is not being left behind the nations improving real estate market trends. Chart 1 shows the Methow Valley sales activity for every type of real estate (land commercial, home and condominiums).
