6/30/2009 9:14 AM

The state has been talking about putting this in place for a while now, and it looks like we are putting our money where our mouth is. In my opinion, the Feds should have done this from the start.

The number of sales pending in Orlando continues to climb. We are over the 7,000 mark right now, and adding to that total each month.
