Here's the good news.....
The bargraph below shows that the number of Longmeadow home sales in January-March 2009 period were significantly higher vs. the corresponding period in 2008 (30 vs. 23). However, sales for the January- March 2009 period were still significantly lower vs. results for the corresponding January - March periods in 2007 and 2006 (30 transactions in 2009 vs. 37 in 2007 and 41 in 2006).

Now the bad news....
The median sales price continues to decrease and is 19.3% lower vs. the peak reached in October 2007 ($282,500 vs. $350,000).
Below is a chart showing the relationship between recent Longmeadow real estate Sales Prices and Assessed Values (data obtained from Vision Appraisal website). The trend of a significant number of homes selling at prices below current assessment value continued in March (18 out of 30 for the January - March 2009 time period).
Hopefully, with dramatically lower mortgage interest rates and the upcoming prime home selling/ buying season there will a strong rebound in the local and national real estate markets.Longmeadow FSBO
