  The reports for Methow sales for October are mixed in 2012. On closer inspection however the news continues to be good.  This is because we have a very low sample size so a slight change will cause a dramatic change in our percentages. What is very telling is the unusual increase in inventory for October 2012 as compared to last year this month, this quarter compared to last years quarter and from the previous month.  October is typically when we note a decrease in inventory  because one of the main arteries to the valley shuts down ever winter due to snow. Today the North Cascades Highway is officially closed for Winter. Yet in Octoberr we have seen an increase in inventory, perhaps signally seller confidence.
