Second Quarter 2011 Mechanicsburg Area Real Estate Market Statistics Released.

Home prices have dropped compared to last year, but this Realtor sees positive signs

In the 2nd quarter of 2011 home sales in the Harrisburg region were down 21.5 % compared with the same period last year. The median selling price fell 5 % to $ 158,500 vs $ 166,900 last year.
The average market time is up to 111 DOM. ( days on market ). Compare that in 2005, at the height of the boom,  the average DOM was 45 days.

Looking at more local numbers, I see positive signs. Our office, which does a lot of business in Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg and the West Shore, had an increase in total units sold of 12.6% in the first quarter compared to the first quarter last year.

Our office also showed a 17% increase in gross sales dollar volume over the same period last year.
