Don’t they know it’s winter?

Not only do the latest housing market figures show no signs of the traditional winter slowdown, but the number of house sales in May totaled an unprecedented 11,158.

Thursday, June 19th 2003

That’s up from the 9,047 houses sold in April and up from the previous record in March of 10,747 sales, according to the latest Real Estate Institute figures.

Not only that, but the national median house price reached yet another record at $210,000 in May, up from the last record set last month of $203,000. That’s 11.7% higher than in May last year.
