Of those sales, previously foreclosed properties accounted for 68.4% of all sales, down from 69.7% in July and the April peak of 73.7%, but up from 63.2% in August 2008. The median price for all new and resale homes and condos was $129,990, down slightly from $130,000 in July, but down nearly 40% from 215,000 one year ago. Sales have risen year-over-year for 12 consecutive months, but median sales price has fallen for 28 straight months on a year-over-year basis. In August, the median price was 58.3% below the region’s peak of $312,000 in November 2006. Write to Austin Kilgore.
