For What It's Worth
I looked at the Sales List on the Sumter County Appraiser's web site. This includes all of Sumter County but is still an indicator of sales here. It also includes resales.
In Jan 2006 and we were booming. Jan 2007 showed a definite slowdown then in Jan 2008 it looks like it bottomed out and 2008 sales have been pretty steady and hardly shabby.
IMHO, prices have moderated here enough so the person who must sell to buy here can justify taking a lower price on their current home. Furthermore, because of the moderation in prices, some people are biting the bullet and buying here before selling their current homes.
