The market stats are in ... and while the overall pictures isn't glowing with improvement, we were able to find a silver lining in the cloud and a bit of positive news. Below is the overall year-to-date report (information obtained from the Hot Springs Board of Realtors® mls):

Average Days on Market

1/1/10 – 10/31/10: 172

1/1/11 – 10/31/11: 166

Number of Listings Sold

1/1/10 – 10/31/10: 1067

1/1/11 – 10/31/11: 1039

Average Price of Sold Listings

1/1/10 – 10/31/10: $152,158

1/1/11 – 10/31/11: $150,605

MLS Sold Volume

1/1/10 – 10/31/10: $162,353,137

1/1/11 – 10/31/11: $156,478,698

Then when we looked closer at the detailed report (click here for details), we noticed one really POSITIVE factor. Inventory is at the lowest we have seen it in at least 4 years (total of 1072 homes on the market vs. an average of 1350 homes on the market in our area). We think this could be a good indicator that our market may start to improve soon. With inventory steadily dropping, we hope to see the pendulum swing back a little more evenly and start to level out the supply and demand.
