There were 270 active listings in Northwest Allen county at the time of this report. If we see a similar decline in activity in the 4th quarter that we saw in 2010, I would anticipate that buyers might see some good opportunities in the market here going forward. Continued positive interest rates will help activity in the area while the ongoing relocation of 1000+ Navistar employees out of the area may hamper the market in some areas.
