Well.. this past weekend, they sold 113 homes vs. 24 the previous weekend (a 370% increase in 72 hours). Traffic counts were 909 vs. 414 the previous weekend (a 122% increase); 230 appointments were made vs. 0 the previous weekend; 78,500 click-through to website and a mere 18.3 million impressions recorded online. Did I just say a 370% increase in sales in one weekend?!?!?!? Yup.

For this to happen there would have to be a hugh amount of sellers willing to take a tremendous loss (50%?). A more likely outcome would be a homeowner will foreclose or keep the house for sale until his losses are minimized.<BR/><BR/>This is a vomitcoaster!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13164186.post-1147811632527326322006-05-16T16:33:00.000-04:002006-05-16T16:33:00.000-04:00David - Lets get our wallets out cause its time to...David - Lets get our wallets out cause its time to buy.
