Inventory Levels Plummet As Warm Days Return |
|
 Apparently, all we needed were a few warm days.... Inventory levels have drastically declined over the past week --- confirming that there really were plenty of home buyers in the market, but that they snow and frigid temperatures were holding them back. After inventory levels stayed relatively constant through the end of February, buyers came out in full force during the last week of March to write contracts on nearly every home on the market! There are now only 41 homes remaining in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County! The only question that remains at this point is whether enough homeowners will put their homes on the market in April to replenish the supply of homes for sale..... ......oh, and I suppose the other remaining question is whether you fell for my not-really-believable-at-all April Fools joke. :) | |

Washington Post feature story on Route 11 Potato Chips |
|
 What a great story in The Washington Post about Route 11 Potato Chips, located in Mount Jackson, VA. "Our focus, from day one, was to make a potato chip that's just better than the rest," says Sarah Cohen, Route 11's owner. "We're making the same exact potato chip that we started with 20 years ago. When we started, we were a 60-pound-per-hour producer. When we came here, we made it to 600 pounds an hour. We know we're small. Frito-Lay is like 600,000 pounds an hour."Read the story at The Washington Post, or click here for a printable version. | |
