Here is a 2009 Year-End Sold Market Report from the Traverse Association of Realtors.  These statistics include Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Benzie, Antrim, and Kalkaska Counties. 

The report shows the number of home sales in Grand Traverse County was slightly down from last year, but overall total sales increased by 194 units.  The average selling price is down from $200,358 to $174,101 and the number of days on the market is holding at 180 days.  The highest number of units sold was in the $120,000 - $139,999 price range.  The First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit has attracted many first-time home-buyers and has helped increase sales in these price ranges.
