Hope you all had a great weekend!  I have some pretty good news here that I would like to share with you.  The National Association of Realtors reported that sales by homeowners rose 2.9% in February.  It was the first month-over-month rise in annualized pace since July.  This is a great sign that housing's problems are getting addressed. 

     Although we are selling more homes now, the prices of these homes has fallen dramatically.  Sales prices have now fallen 15% from their peak in July 2006.  The median price of a single-family home dropped as well, falling 8.7% to $193,900.  That was the largest drop in prices since the trade group began tracking them in 1989!  WOW!  Just some food for thought.  Make your day a great one!
