January 30th, 2012
Good Morning!
 
Over the weekend I was quite busy with buyers and took a total of four groups out looking at a wide range of properties from quartershares and Phase 2 hotel suites all the way up to large townhomes in the $700,000 to $800,000 range.

One of the reasons I'm told is that Europe has had a very slow start to the year with no real snow until about 10 days ago.
