Has anyone seen any articles on this in terms of whether this is the beginning of a real estate market downturn or just a normal downturn due to it being a little more of the off season?

Is this normal in your area?

What's missing from much of this discussion is a real understanding of what the property is, ten acres in the heart of upstate New York Finger Lakes wine country, the desirability of that property as a vacation property on the one hand and the value of it as a vineyard on the other, and how local government (especially Yates County) is systematically trying to fight against the encroachment of moneyed OOS vacation-home buyers/STR operators  in the area.This is not some bland normal place where normal people live and operate.
