Pending sales remain strong and hit the highest total in the past four years.

Eric Shumway, 2010 President of SAR, pointed out that “there was clearly a sense of urgency in April, reflected in higher closed sales as well as contracts written, as buyers attempted to purchase properties before the expiration of the homebuyer tax credits." "There is a lot of enthusiasm and optimism among local real estate agents that the trend will sustain in the months to come."
