Land sales were way down this year for the Snowflake / Taylor area, compared to last year anyway, and again I have to stress 2007 was a tough year here.

2008 isn't over yet and there's still 36 pending escrows showing on the MLS as I write this. But again I would venture to say most of those are probably set to close after the first of the year for tax reasons.

I think most would agree 2007 was a tough year for real estate here on the mountain, but it appears 2008 didn't really get any better, actually it got tougher. Call me an eternal optimist, but I think 2009 will be a better year.

There is none like you,
O Lord;
you are great, and your name is great in might.

Jeremiah 10:6 (ESV)

And God said,...
"I have set my bow in the cloud,
and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth."

Genesis 9:12-13 (ESV)

When the waters saw you O God,
when the waters saw you,
they were afraid;
The clouds poured out water;
the skies gave forth thunder;
your arrows flashed on every side.
The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings lighted up the world;
the earth trembled and shook.

Psalm 77:16-18 (ESV)
