To get back on topic, someone mentioned the approximately 30% vacancy rate of homes for sale. Anecdotally, the number around here has always been high and this is not an obscenely high number relativce to what I have experienced in the past.
BTW, I have officially exceeded 2005 in sales volume, have more in escrow and more buyers waiting for the right home at the right price. This is in response to a thread a month or so ago that opined all realtors are suffering because transactions are down approx 30%. I know that I am one of the exceptions but know others having great years also. Even in a very tough year, there a success stories.
