Most news anchors report day after day about the loss of homes due to the sub-prime debauchery.  The metro Pittsburgh area seems to be immune.  Since Pittsburgh, PA has been experiencing steady growth in existing sales and new homes sales, we did not see the "sudden" surge like  the rest of the country.  Since there were steady climbs in the market, we  did not see the sudden plunge in real estate sales.  So this area has just been keeping pace.  Thank God for that.  And that God for the fact that horse farms and farms sales and land sales are ever constant with little notable changes.  The one factor we have experienced with our horse farm sales is the difficulty clients are having selling their property in other states in order to purchase here in Pennsylvania.  We have seen a down turn with getting the contract to closing with the home to sell contingencies.  We have many buyers out there, if the weather would just cooperate, we could get back to business as usual. www.wesellhorsefarms.com
