The housing recovery closed up shop in December as year-over-year sales dropped from 9.4 percent to 6.4 percent above levels of a year ago and threaten to end the year only a meager 5 percent above sales in December 2012.
The latest weekly data from Dataquick shows that the 30-day average sales on Christmas Eve fell for second week in a row and prices, though sagging since the first week of the month, remained in the double digits above 2012.

Using the most current 30/31 days for each county. Covers 98 of the Top 100 US MSAs (excludes Louisville and Wichita). These numbers are not modeled. They are real sales counts and medians. Behind every digit is a sales event in our database: Address, Seller, Date, Buyer etc.
