Jane good points. Inventory is so key. We have an abundence so buyers market is strong. Send some buyers over-great investment oppurtunities. Have a great year.

I'm noticing the same up here, Jane!  In fact, I'm taking clients out this afternoon to tour open houses, and there were a couple of places I wanted to show them that suddenly got into contract earlier in the week...(this after both units were on the market for more than 185 days each).  Is it a sign?  I don't know, but according to some economic reports, it just may be!

Jane - If timing the market is a game for some... Now is the time to Play. Your can hear the crockodile tears two years from now... "should have bought when rates and prices were low"

I think your first comments about "if you have the funds, are pre approved" says it all for the entire industry no matter where you are. Great post Jane, and oh if I could I would definitely be checking out your area.

Jane -- I love your charts.  Very easy to understand and they display quite a bit of info.  I can look at your charts and get a good handle on the Westwood market without having to read through a lot of text.  Nice job!
