Spring buying season is back — and we're seeing some of the highest numbers for closed sales in years, with the condo/townhome category leading the way.
Closed sales of existing single-family homes were up on a month-over-month basis in August, but that's likely in part due to August having a few more business days than July. As always, when we're looking at very seasonal data like closed sales, it's more informative to look at year-over-year changes, and in that regard, closed sales of single-family homes were down almost 8% compared to last August.
