So... How's the Market Doing?

Time to take a look back at the month of May on the North Shore where my Baird & Warner office is located. I thought it would be interesting to see how many properties came on the market in May (defined as a listing date between May 1 and May 31), and how many of them are already under contract (or perhaps even closed!) This is just a quick snapshot, covering the broad spectrum of property offerings: new construction, resale, a cancelled/new listing situation (ask your friendly realtor what that means!), etc. Generally speaking, it seems there is plenty of buying opportunity on the North Shore.
