The percentage drop varies from state to state... and from town to town.

The fact that prices have corrected, interest rates are low, and people are confident enough to buy a house is GREAT NEWS...

People who highlight the negative in bad news irk me... a great line from John Stewart. "I won the lottery, DAMN... now I have to buy a wallet!"
