WL: Lots Closed Through 10/31/09

Item 2006 2007 2008 2009*
Lots Sold 153 40 8 7 (+/-)
Avg. Size tbd tbd 0.71 0.78
Avg. $/Acre tbd tbd 57.95K 50.45K

*Projections based on sales through 10/31/09 and historical patterns for Q4.

Current Months of Supply stands at 106.7, which is large decline in recent months.  This is not due to increases in demand, but rather to lots expiring, or withdrawn from the market.

For Madison and the surrounding counties, inventories for homes and land are inching upwards.  This is counter-seasonal, however not unexpected.  We have written on our blog since 03/08, about pent up supply, what the literature now refers to as "shadow inventory".
