Our Great Smoky Mountains Association of Realtors unveils their results of Gatlinburg home sales and other areas of interest.  Once again, we reveal the GSMAR totals on residential sales YTD through the month of June 2011.  Keep in mind, that these stats cover; single family homes, condo’s, townhouses, and co-ops.  This data helps to reveal trends in current real estate sales.  Readers must realize that today’s figures are focused on totals for the entire area covered by GSMAR.  Some areas within this survey far exceeded the rest.  It also bears repeating, that last year’s data was hugely influenced by the “federal homebuyer tax credit” stimulus program.  Any of these government incentives tend to skew results in favor of the time period when they operated.  With these items noted, let us look at the data.

In Total Residences Sold, 2011 comes in at 682 vs 2010 at 786.  This is lower by 13% or 104 units total

In Total Dollar Volume Sold 2011 lags 2010 by $22,690,731.00 or 17% ($112,860,980.00 to $135,551,711.00)

The category of Average Price Per Residence Sold comes close to breaking even.  2011 is only $6,973.00 less or 4% lower ($165,485.00 vs. $172,458.00)

In the final category of Active Listings, 2011 trumps 2010 with 596 more or 12% (5,403 to 4,807)
