Why would they want to keep sales on the DL if stuff was selling? :dunno:

I could understand if stuff WASN'T selling, but why stifle good news?

Developers will often keep their listings private so that they can keep control over the sales. Giving the potential buyers and other Realtors less information on sales, also gives the advantage to the developer. I'm not saying that the developers are trying to take advantage of the buyers, but in many cases, it is more difficult for buyers to try to know what price to offer for a property when they cannot see the comparable sales.

Isn't it public record on the tax assessor's site after it's sold?
Yes, but pulling up specific types of sales within a specific time period, within a particular area, is most easily done via the ECAR MLS, limited to participating members. The County site is not that user friendly, nor does it have the capabilities to break down sales data to the extent the MLS has.

Walton County records show only 5 or 6 sales since December 2005. Does that jive with MLS records?

Thanks - since I don't have access to the ECARS MLS I always just use the PA site for info.

It's all perspective - the county site is much more user friendly than the one I can't access at all ;-).

Do I read it correctly,,, 22 sales in 2005 --- 3 in 2006 --- 2 for 2007 ? I was wondering if this was the right place to look. Thanks
