To answer your question about what I think would cause a rise in inventory, I would say the expiration of the tax credit prior to the selling season would have caused inventory to rise. Since that credit was expanded and extended until Spring this obviously should not affect our inventory levels. I also believe that if oil dropped below $50 a barrel we would see another wave of layoffs and that is very likely to increase inventory as we would have more foreclosures and fewer buyers.

I was looking at the chart titles "Houston Total Inventory" and couldn't help but notice that it has been holding relatively steady since May. While I'm sure you'd prefer growth, that steadiness is interesting to me. What variables do you think would have to be affected to see a small upswing in that chart? James,
