Sales (at least on MLX) are still below new listings daily by a fairly large margin, but they have picked up lately. Both categories (especially sales imo) should start dropping off from Oct - Feb.

I've heard a few realtors say that there are more sales in September than in the summer. But looking at the numbers for 2007-2009, that doesn't seem to be the case. And according to Bob, September 2010 was the
first time ever for home sales to exceed August's ...
Maybe it's a different definition of when the sale occurs? As far as I know, the date of the sale is when it 'firms up' (discussed earlier in this thread).
