sold hands     Huh? I must be repressing memories. In February I was as busy as little bee. How come (yeah, I know that should be why) February ’09 sales were so much higher than February ’10?  Have I just accepted the “new reality” of the Richmond real estate market? Is all this activity I see and hear about from other agents actually less than we had a year ago? Am I currently living in Bizarro World? All I know is “I am riding her, ’til she bucks me” and just keeping my nose to the grindstone and pushing on. I am still concerned about what happens after the $8,000 and $6,500 Tax Credits expire in April. Maybe Obama’s push for some short sale regulation will be the new prop for the real estate market?  At this point who knows, but I do know where the sales fell in February and here’s the scoop!
