Wow, look at these numbers.  Sales are up 33% from last year and Inventory is down 21%.  Usually when Inventory drops demand for the remaining properties increases.  The numbers show this is happening in Johnson County right now.  Even though the average price droped slightly, this is a success.  Our average price decline is almost -0-.  We haven''t seen this since 2006.

Does this finally signal a market change? Stay tuned for our next Market Watch report.
