According to the lady that all of us in the area buy lunch from she said that she had spoken to one of the brokers and she said they were actually closing up not just moving. I believe her becase a personal friend of mine who does mortgages said that business has slowed down to almost nothing. He had to go find a real job.
I have also observed many strip malls have empty offices that used to be RE offices. To me thats a huge sign that things have changed.
