May Sales Up from Last Year


MHMLS reports Dutchess County New York sales are up.  April’s 27% rise in Purchase Offers accepted manifest itself in May’s 13.3% increase in closed single family detached homes verses May 2011 and an uptick of 3.5% in year to date closings.  What I see as encouraging is the purchase offers for May is up 34% over last year, so hopefully closings will continue to escalate.  Additionally, the current median and year to date median selling price showed little or no change verses last year 0% and down 2.2%, respectively.  Inventory is lower by nearly 6% and market time is higher by 7%.  All in all, if the trend sustains itself we should see an active positive spring/summer market.
