Jeepers. Great reports, very thorough.
Bill, the time on the market is really high for Ashley. Lots of information in this report.
Hi Bill, I've heard other agents say that market updates tend to bring them alot of business. Do you find that as well? I've only posted market updates the past couple of months but nothing has come of that so far other than a few more folks following me on Twitter.
As always Bill, your Ashland market report is extremely informative and helpful to buyers and sellers. It is interesting that Ashland is fairing a little better than some of the surrounding areas.
Hi Bill, Another interesting report and the trends seen to indicate Fall in the air, would that be about right?
Wow! That's an awfully long time on the market! You'd get to know your sellers pretty well!
