It’s official… the 2008 is now 1/2 over. With the 4th of July comes fireworks, family reunions and summer vacations. This weeks photo was taken across the street from Wakonda Golf Course on the south side of Des Moines. I liked this one because it reminds me of a carrot.This week marked the first time since I started this blog that Active residential listings dropped below 4,000. Perhaps it is because of the holiday weekend, but fewer homes on the market is a good sign of a strengthening real estate market.
