I was curious about how the pending sales this year compared to previous years in the Alamo report (Austin Alamo Title). They don’t use numbers so I thought seeing the trend in pending % changes might draw an interesting picture. If you think of 2006 as the starting point 0.00%, it looks to me that we are almost back to 2006 pending activity for the same week. What do you think?
Footnote: Below is a table with the corresponding weeks and the dates they cover. The week being measured starts on a Sunday so whether it is the end of the year or not, settlement dates can only take place on a business day since banks do not fund transactions on weekends.
* Week 1: I can see the 2009 and 2010 probably have an extra day since the holiday for New Years Day might not have been on that Monday like the other years.
