Des Moines Real Estate Roundup Week Ending 1-2-09

Week Ending January 2, 2009

 

It was a short week in the office with New Years day on a Thursday and the office open on Friday.  I spent most of Friday compiling year end statistics and I will be sharing those with you next week.  In the meantime, the big question is “Have we hit bottom yet or will we continue to see a decline in new listings and accepted offers?”
