Tuesday Morning Links

Good morning all! Sorry for the lack of original content over the past week, but it sure has picked up on the sales front. On a volume basis, I think the first or second quarter will be the bottom. Prices have fallen in the sales market fairly significantly, which is, in combination with low rates, stimulating demand. Prices usually turn up after volume has increased and that increase is reliable. We are not there yet, but there seem to be more people willing to go to contract now than any time since this time last year. I think that there is still a serious lack of pricing power for sellers and that is likely to continue for some time.
As I have been running around, I have been collecting content for the blog along the way, which I will be getting up over the next few days. In the meantime, here are the morning links:
