When looking at the year-to-month actual statistics (using the most recently completed month of May vs. March and January) for Delaware County, the results for residential homes on the market, sold, average price and days for sale before close is charted as follows:

Units Listed |
Units Sold |

| 05/2008 | 11242 | 6184 | 55 | $264,187 | 61 |

This shows that while the trend is still downward, it is slowing and hopefully will soon start to level and even reverse direction.
The current inventory is 3345, with an average monthly Sold of 515, yielding a backlog of 6 months to sell off the inventory at current rates of sale.
