Hi Kate: I wonder if the higher Nov. sales were partly due to the $8,000 tax credit.

I think it's a combo of low interest rates, great prices and the tax credit. I am looking forward to a great 2010!

Good job of explaining the MSI. Consumers would want to know that type of information, and I'll most likely start incorporating that into my market reports. Thanks.
