We're beginning our 5th year or 6th, depending on who you talk to regarding the real estate market and the economy/recession. So much has happened and so much has changed. Markets have corrected themselves in many ways to include, homes going back to the bank in droves and or seller's selling their homes short, with declining values and no equity.
My business is real estate, but my passion ~ "statistics and numbers". I have always trusted numbers ! ~ They don't lie !
