smart man 51,lovin this,


The real estate market in Tuscaloosa, Ala., is reliable and predictable.
"Tuscaloosa has always been pretty stable," says Johanna Shirley, president of the Tuscaloosa Association of Realtors. "We have been fortunate because we have not been as affected by the bubble as other markets."

And even with last month's expiration of the home buyers' tax credit, sales are still brisk. "I've been so busy that I'm drained," Shirley says. "I'm not complaining. It's a good problem."

• Sales status. April home sales were up about 12% from a year ago, fueled partly by the tax credit deadline. This year, sales are about 19% higher than a year ago.

So you think that was a totally different project and the new multi million project is just beginning. That would be very positive I think.
