My perception was that there is more activity this month based on the number of showings of our listings and the number of buyers we are working with, but the sales figures are mostly unchanged. There are still about 2,000 houses for sale and about 100 condos or villas.\u00c2\u00a0There were 231 houses sold in March compared to 249 in February, and there were 19 condos\/villas sold in March- three more than in February.<\/p>\n<p>Beginning with this report\u00c2\u00a0I&#8217;m breaking condos away from villas in the statistics. Condos are individually owned pieces of a larger building\u00c2\u00a0where owners share common space.\u00c2\u00a0 Villas are standalone houses that have private yards and\u00c2\u00a0are sold with a mandatory maintenance plan that includes lawn care and snow removal.\u00c2\u00a0 Townhouses are attached units that visually are somewhere between condominiums and villas. Not every agent classifies their listing correctly so there may be slight inaccuracies, but I think it will help provide a fuller picture of the South Bend housing market.<\/p>\n<p>Houses Listed: 2,032<br \/>\nHouses Sold 3\/1 &#8211; 3\/31: 231<br \/>\nAbout <strike>16%<\/strike> 11% of listed houses sold this month.<\/p>\n<p>Townhouses\/Condos Listed: 60<br \/>\nVillas Listed: 42<br \/>\nTownhouses\/Condos Sold 3\/1 &#8211; 3\/31: 15<br \/>\nVillas Sold 3\/1 &#8211; 3\/31: 4<br \/>\nAbout 25% of listed townhomes\/condos sold this month.<br \/>\nAbout 10% of listed villas sold this month.<\/p>\n<p>Archived South Bend market reports:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.realst8.com\/staging\/9756\/?p=154\" title=\"South Bend Housing Market Conditions January 2007\">January 2007<\/a><br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.realst8.com\/staging\/9756\/?p=190\" title=\"South Bend Housing Market Conditions February 2007\">February 2007<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 2007 sales data from the Greater South Bend-Mishawaka MLS is now available.
