The absorption rate for all three cities as well as county wide has gone up for the first time since January 2008. While the number of For Sale By Owner's has gone down dramatically since last year, we find there are more and more sellers willing to list their homes at fair market value. 

The bulk of sales still happens in the "Bargain Area", around $100K.
