Market Reports
Market trends continue to be positive, in part, due to telework. July closed homes sales were a welcome and positive result. Most are telling us that August won’t be far behind. 
Every sale is needed to provide an accurate report on our market. Make sure all your transactions, whether you are the listing or the selling agent, are correctly closed out in MLS. Reports are updated on the 8TH of every month by GALMLS. View a List of Reports Available.
