The third quarter market data is in and Forsyth County has many key indicators going in the right direction. 

Here are the highlights:

* YTD sales of single-family detached residences are up 7.7 percent from the same time last year.

* The percentage of foreclosure sales dropped 5.0 percent to 10.7 percent of total sales.

* The percentage of short sales increased from 13.6 percent to 16.4 percent.

* The median sales price saw a 4.8 percent increase, marking the third consecutive quarterly increase after several years of decreased values.

* The median Days on Market was 84 - a 4.5 percent decrease.

* And perhaps the brightest spot for home sellers - overall inventory is down 27 percent from this time last year.
