Now that the year 2010 is behind us, let’s take a brief look at how the local Nether Providence real estate market fared in 2010 as compared to 2009.
The biggest factor for the year was the influence of the extension of the Homeowners Tax Credit which affected transactions that went under contract by April 30. The Tax Credit extension front loaded many transactions to the first four months of the year, and was a definite factor in the slowdown of activity after April 30.
