Sorry I am a little slow in updating some of my statisical information this month, but I have been quite busy although not extremely productive. Hopefully, some of the many folks I have in the pipeline will purchase in the coming months. So how does January ’09 compare with January ’08? Units sales were down over 17 %. Although not revealed in the following table, almost 80 % of the market activity occured at a price point below $300,000. 92 % of the market activity was below $400,000. As has been the case for months, the upper end of the market remains stagnant. And you all thought after 1.20.2009 all would be bright and gay. Well, think again.
