Oh, and realtor’s MLS system indicates ‘Days on Market’ at 14 days, when in fact it was over 300 days.

Thanks for including the spreadsheet JB.

Seeing several realtor relists in there, which means the ‘Original List Price’ is much higher for several listings.

Sad that consumers have to track all this info manually to avoid being deceived…

February EXISTING HOME SALES down bigtime vs. year/year !!!

READ

The NAR f*cks over the gullible MSM and sheeple, leads them to believe used home sales were up last month. That was NOT the case.

http://housingpanic.blogspot.com/2007/03/nar-fcks-over-gullible-msm-and-sheeple.html

Dubious NAR report shows home sales continue to crater, off 3.7% vs. last year, while unsold inventory explodes by another 763,000 units and median sales price (without incentives) is down 7.6% from peak

February used home sales (per the dubious NAR numbers) were supposedly 387,000 units, vs. 402,000 units February 2006, down 3.7%. Inventory is now at 3,748,000, vs. 2,985,000 in February 2006, up 763,000 unwanted homes, or 25.6%. And the median sales price (without cash back or incentives) in February of $212,800 is down $17,400 from the July 2006 peak.

RP,

This is GSMLS only, not NJMLS, so you won’t find alot of Bergen included here.

Thanks! Is there anyway to get a picture of this property?

BTW, the average (for what it’s worth) % of OLP for all properties in the spreadsheet is 6.3%. DOM averages out to 87 days.

Does this cover all sales ( listed with the County ) or only realtor sales. So all the side deals in Fort Lee might not be listed?
