Happy MLK Day!

Most noteworthy of news from this weekend was news from Josh Barbanel on the front page of Sunday's NYT Real Estate section (first link), which was very bullish on the prospects for the sub- $1 Mil. market. The article noted a pick up in both open house traffic and contracts being signed in that segment. Rather than the Wall Street titans which formerly drove the market, these buyers are average joes- accountants, teachers and the like, many of whom are first-time homebuyers.
