From the graph, we can see that the total number of houses sold in 2004 was approximately 102. In the graph, we can also see that in 2004, the percentage of houses sold in the summer was approximately 30%.

To find the number of houses sold in the summer of 2004, we can multiply the total number of houses sold in 2004 by the percentage sold in the summer:
Number of houses sold in summer of 2004 = 102 × 0.30 ≈ 30.6 ≈ 31.

Therefore, the best choice is D, 31 houses. Looking at the graph, we can see that the total number of houses sold in 2004 is around 80. We can estimate the summer sales as around 38 houses. Looking at the scale, this is halfway between 35 and 40. Therefore, the best choice is D) 31.
