The National Association of Realtors reports consumers are responding to more favorable housing market conditions and are expecting sales to gradually rise throughout 2007. Time will tell whether or not this holds true locally, but let's take a look at January statistics.

The number of homes sold increased during this time period by 17 percent or 58 homes, as market times increased by 13 percent or 11 days.
