Wow...I know it has been a while since I've posted. #1 reason...we've been busy selling homes and getting used to our new Statewide Forms.
The last week in April we started to see a pretty significant increase in activity. The month of May was steady and I've spoken to other Brokers in Spokane who have noticed a steady increase in sales. While we are behind last year's numbers we are still continuing an upward trend! Below is the report through May 2008.
