Buyers Market

There is an article on the front page of the Daily Miner this morning quoting a local realtor. Only problem is the numbers are very wrong. He says there are 131 single family residences listed in Kingman in July, which is actually the total "new" listings for July. The total sales were 62, which makes the market sound pretty good. The total single family residences listed as of yesterday on realtor.com for Kingman, excluding mobile homes, is 956. I would hope there would be a correction in tomorrow's paper, but I suspect it won't be corrected. It looks much better showing half the houses sold last month.

It's a buyer's market in Kingman. All you have to do is look at the numbers.

In July, there were 131 single-family residences listed in the Kingman, north Kingman and Hualapai Mountain areas. A little less than half of the homes listed were sold. The 62 sold in July is close to the 65 sold in July 2006.
