Estimating approximately 250 Realtors in the Helena area, statistics indicate that only 12% of the Realtors will sell a home each month.

The 2^nd quarter saw a large increase in the volume of homes for sale due to the expiring Federal Housing Tax Credit. Many of those homes closed escrow in the 2^nd and 3^rd quarters. Although the 4^th quarter was in the shadow of the expired Federal program, the market held its own. 

The Sales Price and Days on the Market really didn’t show significant change or indicate a trend worth mentioning. These numbers will reveal more in the coming months as we progress into CY 2011.
