Home sales up over last year...

So, I heard this on NPR 2 days in a row and tried to post something about it 2 days ago... evidently blog posts don't work correctly when completed over a phone... so here it is again.

National Public Radio just stated that home sales are up a good bit over last year at this time and I would just like to ask you all:

Have you noticed this at all? Got some stories for us?

and;

Does anyone have any statistics on this? (I'm a numbers guy, I like statistics)

Please comment away.

Thanks,

Dustin
