A few weeks ago, we had a customer walk into our Sales Center, and he said he was just in the area to look at a resale in the area.

I'm sharing this true story because we've seen this happen quite a bit in the past year, much to the surprise of many in the business. Our hope is that real ... 02/03/2012
