Ed does this mean that Prospect home prices are coming down or is this just a fluke for October?

George Souto   I don't see the prices dropping much if at all. I have seen some overpriced sitting on market too long, however so maybe just a desperation to make sure it gets sold.

Thank you Jeff Dowler, CRS  It's a small town so a big variation in a sale will skew the rest of the numbers.

Good morning, Ed... June was certainly quite the month in retrospect... but you've now had three consecutive months of increases... nothing to complain about as to the Prospect market!
