January Sales Report
What a way to start the year! My recent optimism has proven to be well founded. Sales were up strongly in most price ranges. The only slow spot in the market compared to December 2006 was the price range from $600,000 to $800,000, where sales were off 71.4%. Now it is time for the good news and there is lots of it. Home sales for those listed under $275,000 went up 28.7% over December. The mid price range from $275,000 up to $600,000 saw sales shoot up 55.9%. Our happiest Alpharetta home sellers were those with homes listed over $800,000, as sales soared 200% over last month. Sales were strong compared to December 2006 and now we will take a quick look to see how sales compared to January 2006.

The intersection has now been widened, sidewalks have been added and a stoplight has been installed to improve safety.
Chris Land and his family were in attendance along with friends, extended family and neighbors. Also in attendance were speakers:

Check back here Monday for (game photos) photos of the game. All the best, Jeff 
question for you now to put your minds at ease. Today Canon announced a new camera that I want badly. In fact I have already pre-ordered it and look forward to its arrival sometime in late April to early May. Here is some info on the new Canon 1D Mark 3 for those of you that also enjoy photography.
Basically it is a 10 Mega Pixel, 10 frames per second beast that will be incredible for low light situations such as night football games, indoor basketball and theater events. It has a host of other improvements over the models that I currently use ( Canon1D and 1D Mark 2) that will make it more enjoyable and effective to use.
