Drops really are not that obvious yet because we didn't see a big dropoff in existing home sales until Q4. NJ is running a bit behind the rest of the Northeast and some other bubble markets.

It's the near 25% drop in Q4 versus Q3 that catches my attention.

Keep in mind those numbers are seasonally adjusted. Which means it's not a 'normal slowdown'. In fact, with a decline that steep, it's more like hitting a brick wall.

Richard, could be stupidity, a bidding war, or both.
