Sheffield neighborhood real estate market activity*

BY PAULA ARNETT

Reports are that the real estate market is slowing down. However, according to the results in the accompanying chart, that has not been true for the first three quarters of this year. 202 properties of single-family, condominium and multi-unit types have closed during this period as compared to187 of the same property types in same period last year, an amount 8% greater, and ranking similar to 2002’s numbers of 206 transactions in the same 9-month period.

 


Actually, the year-end results showed 245 closed properties in 2003 compared to 240 in 2002 so last year did catch up with and surpass 2002 in the last quarter of 2003. Currently there are 31 transactions pending in the final quarter of 2004.
