The graph above shows the cumulative number of home sales having occurred as we moved past each of the first 83 days of this year (as compared to last year).  As you can see, we were doing well through the end of January, but the gap started to widen slightly through February, and more significantly through March. 

Due to the first time home buyer tax credit, we may see the gap widen even further in April, though hopefully we'll have some strong summer months of sales to keep us relatively on pace with 2010 home sales.
