National and Dane County real estate statistics for the month of May

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) has released its real estate statistics for the month of May. Here's a quick comparison of how the national numbers compare to the Dane County numbers:

Change in sales (May 2008 vs May 2007)

  • National sales down 15.9%
  • Dane County sales down 19%

Change in median price (May 2008 vs May 2007)

  • National median price down 6.3%
  • Dane county median price up 1.3%

Note NAR combines its data for homes and condos for all of its statistical reports. We prefer to separate home and condo data so we can track how these two markets change with the times. You'll find all of our Dane County preliminary real estate statistics for the month of May here, where we break down the numbers for homes and condos, and provide year-to-date as well as monthly comparisons.

Our full report for the month of May will be posted here in early July.
