Man, it sure is hard coming back from vacation!  I spent last week in picturesque Bath County at Nimrod Hall, one of my favorite places in the world.  I was pretty much unplugged - limited phone, limited e-mail, limited computer access.  I have to say, it was heaven. 

BUT....I have to get back to real life, and jump back into work.  At least until my rich uncle gets out of the poorhouse.  Or I win the $139M lottery.  Or I marry an heir to some little-known European principality.  Sigh.  A girl can dream, right?

While I was gone my business partner did some major heavy lifting and negotiated and ratified four - yes, FOUR - contracts for the Windsor Court Condominiums.  Right before I left - oops! - we reduced the prices to the $195,000-$240,000 price range, for brand new units in the heart of the Fan with off-street dedicated parking, and BOOM!  Four contracts.  This tells me the market is picking up, particularly in the first time buyer price range, as the clock runs out on that $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit

Maybe it's a sign.  I mean, we don't want to break the streak.  Maybe I should just STAY on vacation...

To be on vacation and still make some money. That is a great combination.

No kidding!  Absolutely all the credit goes to my business partner, Pat Petersen, who worked her tail off while I was relaxing.  But it was a really, really, REALLY pleasant surprise to come back to those four contracts!
