Real Estate Values in this area are now dropping
Purely by dumb luck we sold the cottage (settlement was yesterday) at the peak of the market. That peak came a few months latter than most of our properties, all of which I track in Zillow. We still have undeveloped land north of the cottage that has just now plateaued. The markets have the ability to "self cleanse" and I believe we are seeing the beginning of that correction.
