It’s a bit disappointing that 2014 didn’t have the sales volume of the previous year, especially with interest rates maintaining at historically low levels while most experts thought they’d rise. Even still, there was more activity than 2009-2012.

It’ll certainly be interesting to see how the next year opens, as Winter predictions call for a less biter cold than last year.

Compared to 2013-14, which was one of the coldest winters in recent memory in the Upper Midwest, this winter the chill looks to be more focused on the East Coast and Gulf Coast, according to the winter forecast prepared by WSI, which along with The Weather Channel is part of The Weather Company.

That’s it for now!
