Home sales rise

The Ohio Association of Realtors reported last week that the number of single-family homes and condominiums put under agreement in August rose for the 16th-consecutive month.

Ohio’s August pending home sales index of 121.1, a figure based on contract signings, rose 15.6 percent from an August 2011 score of 104.7.

An index of 100 is equal to the average level of contract activity during 2008, which marked the end of five consecutive record years for existing home sales and the onset of the recession. The August 2012 mark represents a 21.1 percent increase from the benchmark August 2008 index of 100.
