Home Sales Up in August

Home sales in the Nashville area were up almost 30 percent in August over the same period last year. The Greater Nashville Association of Realtors says more than 2,000 home closings were reported in August. That’s up from more than 1,500 from August 2010. Association president Alice Walker says the numbers show the region’s housing market is stable, with condo prices up and single family home prices remaining consistent.
