The market in Federal Way doesn't sound bad!  Interesting info about the LP vs. SP ratios being affected by days on market.

I see why you posted on my blog today.  This blog of yours is all about the numbers.  When I see statistics like this I want to figure out how to be involved in the sales of the ones that are being sold.  Maybe it is time to switch to decaf, but that is my mindset.  Thanks for this post, now I will go back and run the same numbers for my area.
