Marco Island Real Estate Statistics May 2010

The Marco Island real estate market took a breather in May. After months of consistent growth, the sales volumes showed below-average results with the overall sales volumes dropping just over 10% as compared to May 2009. Keep in mind, first half of 2009 peaked a little later then normal. In addition, the home buyer's tax credit may have been an incentive for more homes to close by April 2010. So, the questions is, will this trend continue?

As you can see from the graph below, Marco Island real estate sales volumes show some consistent fluctuations and is trending up. We would have to believe that these patterns will continue as prices have leveled off and demand is steady. Looking at the June volume so far, we are on track to meet or beat the May numbers.
