MLS® Residential Sales Versus Listings, July 2011:
This are the shapes we're looking for. We'd like the red listing line to be as close to the blue line as possible if we are the seller. The closer those two are the more we are in a "sellers market" When the red listing line is well above the blue sales line we would be in a "buyers market". Basically the success of a sale depends on your price range. The middle price ranges are the most active:

Positive real estate news. We have some price ranges that are stronger in sales volume than others. So it is best to consult with your REALTOR® on how your home fits into the market and what steps you should take to become "SOLD"
