The record sales for January 2004 include Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc. reporting sales of $2.0 billion on 7,401 properties sold, and Prosperity Mortgage Company, the firm's mortgage affiliate, reporting $27.8 million in volume of business, a 23 percent decrease over the same month of the previous year, with the decline being in large part due to a decrease in refinancing business.
