Hi Lynda, Looks like your Spring Market has sprung to life in La Habra. Cute, huh? :-) Seriously, the report indicates to me that business is on the uptick and inventory is down. To me , at least under normal circumstances , spells a possible uptick in values. We shall see as the indicators sre still not demonstrative on the issue.
