In 20016 DC for the period of January to December 2008 there were 408 properties sold.
In 20016 DC for the period of January to December 2009 there were 419 properties sold.

So, what does all of this mean? 

The average sales price increased from April to May by $43,162 – roughly 5%.  However, it’s down from May 2009 by $46,821 (again, roughly 5%).  Days on market have remained somewhat steady, dropping from 90 to 80 days in May 2010.  That said, homes that went under contract in May did so pretty quickly: 22 days.  That’s a big improvement over 80 days.  As I predicted that May would improve over April (average sales price), my guess is that June will top May.  You heard it here first!
