December home sales climb 11.1 percent from November. Illinois ended 2010 with a December boost in home sales compared to the prior two months and declines in prices and sales also appeared to be moderating, according to IAR's (Illinois Association of Realtors) report. Statewide home sales in December totaled 7,682 up 11.1 percent from 6,915 sales in November; year-over-year sales were down 7.3 percent from 8,288 sales in December 2009. The statewide median price was $140,000 down 7.9 percent from $152,000 in December 2009. Nationally, existing-home sales also jumped in December.
