Looks like more signs of improvement, finally we are seeing growth in opened escrows for the last couple of months over the corresponding months last year.  After a little over 12 months of disappointment in terms of number of sales, finally we appear to be seeing the anticipated recovery that we have been hoping for, on average for the last 12 months, opened escrows were down about 15%, while sales volume was down even more than that, mostly because of the sections of the market which were moving, or more appropriately the sections that were not moving.  However, over the last 90 days compared with that same time period last year, sales are up over 7.5%.  Obviously these are just the formative stages of recovery, and will be subject to continued support not only from the buying public, but also from the money market, it appears from our own observations of increased internet traffic looking at listings and asking questions that we can expect continued support from the buying public so long as the interest rates and fuel prices do not have significant increases.  On the forecast for the weather is snow 6 of the next 10 days, preceded by some mixed snow and rain.  Around the holidays, the amount of snow will dictate how the first quarter of sales will go.  So far, we are looking ok, as long as we can get the storms to come more from the north than from the south so as to keep them more cold than warm.
