The sales statistics compare housing sold in Grand Traverse County from January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 to the same time period in 2009 and 2008. This includes the townships of Acme, Blair, East Bay, Fife Lake, Garfield, Grant, Green Lake, Long Lake, Mayfield, Paradise, Peninsula, Union, Whitewater, and the City of Traverse City.

Average sales price and median sales price also have increased 5.5% and 5.3% over last year.
