For some odd reason Karen, here townhome sales are picking up in NW Indiana - we are looking to list more - perhaps because of the simpler lifestyle or price less than SF homes?

hope this trend spreads :)

Sincerely,

Grace

Karen I am aware your reports on Springfield are an integral part of your market strategy to be current on many facts throughout Fairfax County. The obvious goal is to provide your clients with the very best possible representation and blog posting is an excellent method and may include posts about other interesting locations in our area
