Living Green never tasted so good. The great thing about supporting our local farmers' market is that, since all produce, fruits, flowers and herbs are grown locally, it takes less gas to ship them in. It also supports the local economy by keeping money here in the community and giving the farmers a platform to sell their wares. Below is a sampling of the markets you'll find in our area. Enjoy!

Contracts vs. Active Listings - Homes Priced $1,000,000 and Higher
For homes priced at more than $1,000,000, the market never saw the huge imbalance we saw in the lower prices ranges in early 2005. But those were great times for million dollar home sellers nonetheless.
By mid-2006, the gap between supply and demand was big - and it has stayed big. Inventory is near its peak, and contract activity remains sluggish.
There is no doubt that it is a buyers' market in the upper brackets.
