April was the first month of 2011 to not have gains in under contract and settled sales, which is a major indicator that the housing market in Hampton Roads may not have bottomed out. Looks like we’re still on the road to recovery.

SALES (TOTAL RESIDENTIAL SALES)

The decline in the active distressed homne market and a drop in the number of distressed settled homnes are signs of stabilizing and home prices level off.
