No doubt sales are increasing, especially in the $600,000 – $700,000 range that had been particularly hard to sell in the first six months of the year.  The over 1 million homes that are priced right continue to sell, but the vast majority seem over-priced and the buyers are passing on these homes. The price range under 500K is increasing sales.  Most homes are selling at 2004 prices.  As time goes by, real estate agents are no longer interested in listing over-priced homes and this is reflected in the depletion of inventory and increase in sales.
