518 homes came off the market pending sale.  The average list price per square foot at the time they were "pended" was $258, an average of 5% below the original list price of the home.

307 homes were sold.  The average time on the market for homes sold this month was 76 days.  The average sale price per square foot for homes sold was $242, compared to the $257 per square foot list price at the time they pended.
