Jim - nice description of River Colony.  I liked how you tied the area and development description together with recent market data.  Very informative.

We had an article in our local newspaper within the last couple of weeks about how few condos are FHA approved. It seems condo boards would make sure to have this renewed, especially at this price point.

Jim  As usual, your River Walk community profile and market report is very professionally done,  Certainly, the number of units sold this year  in a 300 unit project is very positive.  I was surprised they allowed the FHA approval to expire - FHA is generally a major compononent financing in condos
