May's total residential real estate sales garnered by the members of the Great Smoky Mountain Association of Realtors wasn't all that great with the total reported as of this morning at only 171 units. Because the month of May ended over the weekend, this preliminary total is almost certain to increase fairly dramatically over the next two weeks but I doubt that we can catch the stellar performance of area realtors during May of 2014 which totaled 206. Here is the table for your review: I would love to tell you that we will catch up with the record sales that were reported a year ago but that would require sales equal to an additional 20% over what has been recorded so far. I can hope, but this one I don't feel confident about...

Typically, a month's final totals are 5-8 percent above the first numbers that I report. This is because it takes a while for all of the dust to settle and every agency to get all of their MLS records updated. With that in mind, I can be pretty optimistic (but not absolutely certain) that January 2015's sales tally will eventually exceed that of the same month last year, if only by a bit. Here are the very early numbers that are available as of tonight from our Great Smoky Mountains Association of Realtors MLS database: While it will be close, my guess is that we will finish right about the same level as a year ago.
