Where Has All The Business Gone?!!

I know in NJ, business has been abnormally slow the past couple of months.  How is it for you guys out there in the real estate world?

I have been reading the national reports and most do say that the real estate market is about 30% slower than the previous year, but those previous years are kind of unrealistic in my mind. 

The type of business I mostly do is residential purchases.  It just seems that a lot of my realtors are dead slow and are getting worried.  We all know that spring time brings good things to the business.  So, lets hear it from you!
