*Â Â Â Â October 2008 Real Estate Highlights:
*Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â October was not a bad month, posting the highest average
transaction price so far this year-$676,061
*Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A factor to note in October: North Summit County Area- there
was a $17,700,000 sale for the Young Ranch. It was a home and had four other
improvements on it. It was approximately 175 acres- the county has not
transferred it yet- so the acreage is not completely accurate. The sale is
coded as a Development site rather than Residential- even through it has a
home on it. It would have really skewed the averages if we included it in
the Residential category. Since the transfer is between two corporate
parities, we are assuming the transaction will be further developed or used
as a working ranch.

October-there are 20 Sales, gross equaling $22,005,000 with the average
