The regional multiple listing service has released the numbers for January 2011. The glaring number is the 50% increase in pending sales from this same month last year. This reflects the huge decrease in sales at the end of 2009 that would have been closing in 2010. The days on market is an eye opener at 253 days. This shows it's much better to have your home priced competitively on the market rather than churning up marketing time which will produce a lower price in the long run.
