Half full and half empty

GOOD NEWS! Ulster County home sales surged 66 percent from February to March, The New York State Association of Realtors reported (the Realtors are happy prices went up, too).

BAD NEWS! The same number of home sales, 60, is down 40 percent from two years ago, where 101-single family homes were sold. 36 homes were sold in February.

Below are state numbers. You can spin them as much as you want.
