Stats Schmats.  I like to boil things down to their essence for the time conscious consumer ;)

It's a good time saver, Melina.

Hoping I won't have to cut and paste this effort for future reports, KM.

Your HA's were stretching my screen, you nutty girl, you. 

Only you can answer that question, Lis ;)

Of course ... I could probably break this out into a graph.  Give me some time, and I'll make this more palatable for the more visually inclined learners.

Not positive, but I'm pretty sure they deduct points every time I post, Gary.  Bob Stewart has been trying to kill me for months.

No one likes puffery, Leesa.  Except Bernie Madoff, maybe.

I dare you, Tara.  That would be just about the funniest use of the reblog yet.

Some days, the words just don't feel like showing up for work, Alan.  I must entertain myself in other ways when the thesaurus phones in sick.

Katerina, this is the kind of post that should get me shunned by NAR. 

Dan & Amy, you haven't read too many posts today, have you? ;)

Good point, Brian.  These do take a lot of prep work, too.

Howdy, Russell.

That's exactly the strategy I was aiming to employ, Rebecca.  Yeah ... that's it.

Rita, you are looking more and more like your other half these days ;)

Krista, you gotta take a joke all the way if you're going to make it work ;)

Valerie, Sorry to inundate you with all of that data so late in the day.  I know I demand much of the reader.

Hi William.  It is a grave injustice, is it not?  Such a peeling-back-the-top-on-a-can-of-unadulterated-truth kind of post will net me a big fat zero.  That's okay.  Hard to play the martyr when you get what you want.

It's a good thing you didn't include September through December, Erik.  Would have needed a new baseline.

Knock yourself out, Mandi :)

Terry - If those are buyers you are referring, then you can flip the report on its ear.  They are heading this way just in time to take advantage of perhaps the greatest buyer's market of our lifetime.  If they are trying to unload the seasonal home they purchased in the last couple of years ... my condolences.

Missy - No point being Baghdad Bob.

Sean - Probably not what most have in mind by "outside the box" type marketing ;)

Paddy - I always have a good time.

Sandra - How did I know you'd appreciate it?

Jesse - Yep, cut to the chase and save the stats for the academicians.

I might have to make this my swan song, Jersey.  Nowhere to go but down.

Pam - Thank you for fighting all of the way through it ;)
