Here are the raw numbers for Howard County for June 2009. Total units sold is up 3.39% from June of last year, while the average sale price is down 6.47%. This is much less of a drop than neighboring Montgomery County, which saw over 15% shaved off their average sale price in the last year. 1,692 homes are on the market, while only 305 homes sold in June. This represents an absorption rate of 18%, slightly under MoCo’s 20+% absorption rate. So less inventory is being absorbed, as a percent of total inventory, but the prices are firmer in HoCo than in MoCo.
