Even though sales were down four percent last month, Board President William Cattle said "resale housing demand remained below year-ago levels in December, it did bounce back from lower levels reported in October and November", which saw a of 21 percent in November. December did see an increase in dollar levels with the average price for a home coming in at $237,366, an increase of nine percent on a year-over-year basis. Overall for 2012, the annual average price came in at $224,950 which also represents an increase of three percent. "We also saw a bigger than expected year-over-year jump in the average selling price in December. That said December is the quietest month of the year, so a couple of expensive sales here or there can have a big impact on the calculation of the average price in the region".
