At the current rate of sales, we have a 35 month Absorption rate at the

Watermark Residences.  This means that it will take 35 months for the

current listed homes to sell based on the current rate of sales.

Watemark buyers don’t seem to be interested at the present prices.

The listed avg. price/square foot is about $60 more than the only sale

so far this year.  The $2.7 million home does inflate the figures a tad

but price/sq ft should be similar.  Summer may see more activity but

I see overpriced homes and buyers just aren’t buying overpriced homes.
