There were also performances by students in first through third grades.

Second- graders shared words about Dr. King's life and sang "We Shall Overcome."

The holidays and stormy weather accounted for some of the lethargy on the market, ac- cording to the MLS report. Ma- son County's pending sales fig- ures for December were down almost 50 percent from the same month last year, and closings were down by about 25 percent. Average prices on sales, how- ever, rose compared to those in 2005. Mason County members of Northwest Multiple Listing Ser- vice reported 93 new listings, 561 active properties on the market, 53 pending sales and the closing of 79 home sales. The average home price among De- cember sales was $233,589, with a median price of $220,000.

The 53 pending sales for De- cember 2006 work out to 52 per- cent of the previous December's 102 deals in the works. And the closed-sales figure of 79 for last month amounts to just a hair un- der 75 percent of the 106 closings completed in December 2005. Last month's average sale price of $233,589 was up $16,448 from the December 2005 aver- age price of $217,141, and the December 2006 median price of $220,000 was up more than 11 percent from the previous De- cember's median of $195,500. Across the 19-county MLS area, listings were up 37 percent and sales of single-family homes slipped by about 12.5 percent. Sales prices were up from a year ago, however. The median price across the MLS area for sales of single-family homes and condominiums that closed dur- ing December was $315,000, up about 9.4 percent from 12 months ago when the area's me- dian sales price was $288,000.
