February Was a Difficult Month For Real Estate
February was a difficult month for real estate.  February is usually better than January, this year it was not.  In fact, DataQuick reported Orange County home sales fell when compared to January and to a year ago. 
Oops there is a problem.  I really thought that the market was moving well and we were coming out of the problems.  The kind of early year down turn is rare.  It is a worrisome trend if it goes forward into our real estate season.
