Monroe County home sales climbed in the second quarter of 2013, even as the number of new homes coming onto the market shrank.
A total of 511 home sales closed in the county in April, May and June 2013, according to figures from the Indiana Association of Realtors. That was up 13.3 percent from the same period a year ago, when 451 home sales closed.
New listings were down 2.8 percent, however. There were 861 new listings in the county in the second quarter of 2013, a drop from 886 the year before.
