The numbers are still not fantastic, but we're seeing signs of a potentially bright 2017.  Sales activity was down 10% from December and up 25% over last January, but the number of homes pending bodes well for a big February and March.

 January marked the return of sales of the larger homes in the Anthem Country Club.. The total number of homes sold in the Country Club decreased slightly from December, but was up slightly year over year.  The average sale price jumped greatly over December 2016, most likely attributed to larger, more expensive homes selling.

As they say in Anthem, life here is... 01/15/2017
