  1. Wow! A 38.9 percent price increase! Is that possible? I would be interested to see what the local MLS database has on file to see if that can be verified. If it is correct, then those that have underwater mortgages should be leaping for joy and investors must be besides themselves with glee at having bought at just the right time.
