How many real estate sales does it take to turn a market around?

I had a client in town who was looking for a property in a particular plantation.  I told them that there were 55 homes currently on the market and there had been two sales.  Nothing that was currently on the market could begin to compare to the two homes that sold because the owners were clearly not as motivated to sell. 

The lesson from this; act when you find a good buy on the market so you don’t miss out later on.
