Price Point is KEY

From SteveHarney.com:

"There is much discussion about how the real estate market is in the middle of its turnaround based on sales increasing on a year-over-year basis. Though the fact that housing is again moving is fabulous news, let's not lose sight of which homes are selling.

Here is a closer look at different price ranges and how they are faring in the current "boom":

$0-100,000 sales up 38.8%
$100,000-250,000 sales up 8.7%
$250,000-500,000 sales down 6.2%
$500,000-750,000 sales down 8.9%
$750,000-1,000,000 sales down 10.6%
$1,000,000-2,000,000 sales down 23.3%
$2,000,000+ sales down 32.4%"

Moral of the story?? Units may be up, but lower priced properties are selling quicker... so pricing is KEY!
