I've featured two Hot Properties a week for a long, long time. So where is the Tuesday feature? I'm not sure if its me or the properties, but none of the new listings are working for me. For one, there aren't many (certainly not for this time of year). And those that are coming to market just don't feel very "hot." I promise to feature some hot props as new as I come across them...
"The beautifully displayed fruits and vegetables here include several kinds of chilies, yams, potatoes and squashes. Melons go for $3 and $4 each, a pound of clean, gorgeous leeks costs 99 cents, tomatillos are $1.59 a pound and nopales (prickly pear cactus pads) are $1 a pound."

So far, some of the best homes to hit the market this spring are relistings of properties that I already featured. Taking homes off the market and then relisting them—often at a lower price and with a new agency—has become common in these recessionary times. Here are my personal picks of previously featured Hot Properties that have recently been relisted:
I'm taking a break. Readers are invited to share thoughts, questions, suggestions, complaints, and whatever else you want—as long as it relates to life in the area and you aren't rude.

The number of houses going to contract in the towns this blog covers bounced quite a bit in February from the previous month. A lot of Hot Properties found would-be buyers, too, many of them after being on the market for a very long time. Big cuts in the asking price were needed to move most of them, though not all. As far as I can find, not a single Hot Property got all the way to home plate in February, which is unusual.
