Comparing 2010 to 2011 pending sales are down 45%. Our average sale price, year to date, is down 11.1%. This figure doesn't give much of an indicator though due to so little data. Closed sales by the end of July for the mountain hit 49. This is really surprising considering the incredible interest rates available.
