The market data for Windsor is mixed, but generally moving in a positive direction. The expected seasonal sales decline in September was not as sharp as it was in 2011, and sales have been generally stronger throughout 2012. And while prices declined - and this is a measure of what is selling and not a direct measure of value - it's interesting to see that the amplitude of the month-to-month variations has become much less volatile. Overall, Windsor has shown some good signs of recovery this year, and we're optimistic about that trend continuing into 2013.

There are still many excellent opportunities for buyers to find well-priced homes and interest rates continue to be very favorable. And sellers who properly prepare their homes for market, price them correctly, and market them effectively will be rewarded with buyer interest.
