Another year, another record. For the 13th consecutive year, annual sales have topped the previous year, this time by 15%. Orlando’s Realtors® sold 29,995 existing homes last year, reaching that goal by closing out 2005 with yet another record -- 2,477 home sales in the month of December. That’s a 13% increase over last December.
This month’s Market Pulse also shows that inventory continues to climb in concert with mortgage interest rates. We will continue to watch both indicators closely.|
