Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS - I have a sneaky suspicion that as we move through the year, the average sales price will get closer to the list price.  I think that agents and sellers will position these homes and condos more competitively.

I think that's an excellent point Sheri Sperry - MCNE®  and I agree. Time will tell.
