My thoughts: The number of listings on the market is going up, pretty quickly - 160 in one week. As I mentioned in an entry this week, it looks as though the "spring market" started a bit later than during previous years. Buyers should have no trouble finding the "perfect home" right now. Sellers need to be careful - if they don't price their properties right, they're going to have to wait a long time to sell.
