I'm seeing great signs that the market is improving locally.  Anastasia Island seems to have stabilized, with monthly sales mimicking 2007's like month #'s.  It's my belief that the county's data will "catch up" as all the new construction that's currently under contract gets reported as sold.  I closed 5 new homes in May, and with them leading the market in value, I believe that most people bought new in the past 6 months, rather than resale homes.  As these are built and closed, our data will improve.
