Still far off the highs of last year, but pretty much made up for the Winter slump already.
My neighbour has dropped his asking price for his hilltop chateau, with a tennis court and 46 acres from $3.2 million to $1.8 million. That's been over the course of a full year. Right now a realtor hell-bent on subdividing (four new 10 acre lots) is trying to lowball him from there. The house isn't anything great at that price, which I assume is why he's not getting much action except on the land. Drop dead view though.

Acreages are always tougher to sell and take some time but I think his story is becoming increasingly common.
