Summit Count Real Estate- Pedal to the Metal in August

After a deceleration in growth for July, Summit County real estate sales once again hit the gas. Dollar volume in the month rose 49% to $142.5 million versus August of 2014 and was up 20.8% from July. That reflects the highest August number since 2007. Transaction volume, which was flat in July, jumped 25% from a year ago and was up 32% from the prior month at 267 sales. Year to date, dollar volume is up 37% to $798.8 million while transaction volume has risen 23% to 1,471 sales.

Low end properties continue to dominate with sales under $500,000 accounting for 59.3 % of all transactions in the month versus 61.2% year to date. Sales in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range represented 30.2% of the sales in the month and 29.5% year to date. One million plus properties were 10.5% and 10.3% respectively.
