Expired listings: off the chart in Contra Costa

Wed 02/08/2006: We see the surging number of expired listings on the first day of the month with absolute amazement. Here are the records: 9/1/05=42 units; 11/1/05=87 units; 12/1/05=137 units; 1/1/06=176 units. We thought 42 expired listing were quite extraordinary back then, and we'd brought that to your attention in October. But the number keeps piling up since.
