Wow, hard to believe it is already the middle of June. Seems like time is flying this year. I have never seen it get so hot this early in the summer.
You can see from the numbers below that sales were down about 13 percent in May as compared to last May. If you remember at the end of April home sales were up 28% year to date.

Bank Owned sales are up year to date and I hope this number will start to decline soon. We all know home ownership creates stable neighborhoods.
Interest rates are trending up and are currently about 4% on a 30 year loan. Lenders are still lending money and we have a good selection of inventory. Great time to buy as it is still a buyers market but that is changing.
It will be interesting to see what the numbers look like for June. I think that will set the tone for the year. If June sales are down over last June, we may have a problem.
