Sick Days

I've been sick the last couple of days with a bad cough that has prevented me from sleeping for the last two nights. Needless to say, I'm in no shape to do any sort of real estate deals right now. I was able to see a doctor yesterday and got some medicine, so I should be on the road to recovery. Of course, the prescription cough medicine has codeine so that knocks me out a bit too.

I saw on the news today that new home sales are up for the second straight month, but prices are down. Builders are giving massive incentives and lowering prices to move their inventory. Some people point to the sales increase and claim the housing decline has bottomed, but I have my doubts.
