Ed, very detailed housing report for the Prospect, CT area.  There seems to be a slight decline in activity...that will probably make for some very good deals for buyers.

Hi Ed: It is interesting to see the difference between your market and mine. In Manchester, the month of January usually registers the lowest average price. Great report. Keep it up.
