Jan. 1, 2008 - King County Home Sales 2005

The purpose of these charts is to try to predict the market for 2008 as we compile the numbers on a month to month basis by comparing YOY Home Sales for Seattle King County. 

These percentages are needed so that we are not treating each month as if it represents 1/12 of all sales for the year.  Perhaps an average of 2005 and 2006 and 2007?  Not sure yet, and I will be posting 2006 and 2007 stats as well.  So many more graphs and charts to come.

Looking at the graphs below, you might think this unnecessary given the percentages are not dramatically different.  But something tells me that changed in the two subsequent years, particularly in 2007.  So having this historical data will come in handy much later in the process of comparing data.

Apologies to those who may be bored with all of these stats, but 2008 is "anybody's guess" at the moment.  So in order to base 2008 commentary on best guess vs. WAGuess, having these stats to refer to as 2008 plays out will be helpful to many, including me.
