HOME SALES SOAR II

Roger, to answer your question, I refer to an e-mail just received from one of my most trusted, brilliant Realtor sources, Fernando M. Alva of Keller Williams (469.449.9879):

“In this Area (Area 17) - according to MLS there were 294 sales between January 1st and March 31st…and not 30 sales like the Dallas Morning News suggests…unless they were only counting single-family homes, in which case there were 29 sales. But why would they only look at single-family homes, which only accounted for 10 percent of the sales…especially when this area is mainly condos?”

Then I asked Fernando if 294 sales in first quarter 2006 was better than same period last year: He says yes! From January 1 to March 31, 2005, there were 254 sales of homes and condos in this area.

I rest my case.
