WCLO's Stan Stricker reports on increase in home sales for Rock County.

The Rock-Green Realtors Association President says she's ecstatic over the latest home sales figures from the state association.

Paula Carrier says after seeing a slide since the fall of 2007, this gives her a real boost in thinking the worst is over. The Wisconsin Realtors Association reports Rock County existing home sales are up 6.1% compared to a year ago. Carrier says part of the reason is a federal first time home buyer program. Sale prices are down 6.3%, but Carrier says part of the reason is a high number of foreclosures.

She says these numbers may indicate the economy is beginning to recover.

There up because the houses are selling for less then their value. And people would rather sell at a loss then lo0se it to forclosure.
