Leslie, A 21% jump year over year is VERY solid!  I'd just compared the first six months of this year to the same six months of last year for one of our area school district and volume was consistent, but values were down about 10%.  Not passing a school levy 8 straight times doesn't make holding property values a good bet.  Hopefully this fall is the time it gets passed.

This is great news!!  I'm sorry I missed this when your first wrote it.  I've been thinking that it would be great if more news like this got mainstream exposure.  People really need to hear news like this so they see markets turning around.
