Our source on this data comes from the Great Smoky Mountains Association of Realtors. Residential sales are composed of; single family homes, condos, townhomes, and co-ops. The GSMAR numbers are helpful in choosing when to buy or sell. They can assist in determining pricing for either side of the property sales transaction.

Throughout 2011 we have seen lower figures in a lot of categories. It is crucial to factor in the influence of government stimulus on these numbers. The tax credit certainly brought some buyers into the market earlier than they might have done on their own. Our current year numbers are not radically lower than 2010. This is good because there was no government rewards for buying in 2011. Selection inventories are good and interest rates are not jumping up in a huge leap. All of this makes for positive reasons to consider a home purchase.
