This posting covers two of the three “Tri-cities” submarkets-College Park & East Point, that were included in our January survey.
In the College Park submarket the Average Sales Price fell from $218,633 to $212,507 or about 3%. The Average Number of Days on the Market also fell by 3% from 141 to 137. The Number of Units Sold declined from 59 in 2007 to 55 in 2008, a fall of 7%. Overall, given current market conditions, the College Park submarket seems to be fairing better than most.
