Interesting Sandy, looks like inventory is creeping up.  Not a great sign for sellers.

Sandy - I am amazed at the 166 "Cash" sales.  That's a high number in comparison to the other types of financing. 

Although sales prices decreased 4.52% from February 2009, it is still a better number than some decreases experienced elsewhere in the country.  Hopefully, that number will stabilize and begin to improve.

Nice job on gathering the informationa and data for your area!

Hi Gabe, The inventory does seem to be creeping up a bit, but sales still seem to be brisk. We are staying busy.

Myrl, We have seen a large number of cash buyers in our area recently.  It's good news, because many of the houses for sale will only qualify for cash.

Hi Caren, We do have a large inventory of listings here in our area. It does give buyers in certain areas quite a selection to choose from.

Hello Sandy, looks like we had to have a small bit of the ugly along with the beautiful.  Great picture, okay if I save it to my album?

John, Cash is king here in our area today. A number of the houses on the market today will not qualify for financing in the condition they're in.

Yes, you're right.  Anything for you, Kevin, you are always welcome to my pictures.
