| 5 Years On The Market, WA Town Still For Sale
Juli Doty had big plans for the little ghost town of Monse, just north of Brewster. A Wenatchee Realtor, Doty listed the entire town for sale five years ago. She knew the town's owners Donna and Fritz Van Doren and they asked her to sell it for them when they moved from Monse to East Wenatchee.

And Doty was the perfect person to sell it. She grew up in Brewster, but often visited Monse as a child, and remembered it as a bustling farm community. "I was here a lot. We'd go swimming in the river, and we'd ride our bikes right here, and play," she said.

Another study, by the Otteau Appraisal Group working for developer CRC Communities, says home sales in Hunterdon fell 31% from 2003 to 2007, and that the number of unsold homes increased by 51% for the same period. As a result, the time needed to sell a home has increased from one month in 2004 to nine months in 2007 "and rose in January 2008 to 12 months," according to the report.
