No, I didn't forget to change the stat figures this week, for the first time in blog history the total inventory numbers stayed exactly the same! Does that mean absolutely no activity occurred this week? No, but somehow market ebb and flow had a perfect balance of inventory gain and loss. Sales to list ratio gained ten points this week but failed to change the absorption rate figure which is an amazing 16 weeks, or 4 months more then this time last year. Single family home prices remain strangely high as we finish out a week of sales that have actually performed stronger then last year. I'm anxious to report the July stats to see how we did. So make sure to come back next Thursday to check it out! Thanks for stopping by!

A new addition to the blog is "adoptable's of the week". This week features Pit Project Rescue (a non-profit organization) and a batch of their rescued puppies that will be ready for adoption soon. Details and more info can be found by clicking the picture :)
