In this market...let me rephrase. This market isn't as bad as the media relays!
People will buy and people will sell. Some are selling out of desperation, some are selling for other reasons.
Buyers are buying out of necessity...relocation (jobs), etc. or "just because they can".
What do you tell the buyers and sellers...when they joke about the market and the doom and gloom?
I laugh and say, it is what it is, how do you feel?
Most of the astute people who understand the economy are laughing with me and saying...I'll buy now...why not...how much lower can it go. I mean with all the short sales and foreclosures...those are in the control of the lenders...
Many of the business oriented crowd are buying...renting their personal homes else where, and waiting to sell them until the market is on a more positive swing. Are they the smart ones, I'd have to agree...

Right on Karen!!! This fact remains - Real Estate is still the most solid investment over the long haul.
Keep spreading the news and keep smiling! And for those who would rather believe in the gloom and doom - keep laughing, the jokes on them. They're the ones missing out!
Jim,
You are so right...join my groups if you'd like...that's an invite...Singles with positive attitudes..., and some others. You don't have to be single, just be positive...
and you are! thanks for posting.!
Hang in there. I know I will. And when the dust settles we'll have a leaner industry to work with.
Karen, our market has really not been affected much because we did not have a bubble to burst. Ours burst back in the 1980's with the oil crisis. I can't believe how many of my clients however think that the sky is falling because of listening to the media.
Sam, Right, won't that be great! The professionals will previal, the deals will be easier, and the customer's happier. No BS, cause the agent/Realtor(R) was new and didn't know! thanks for posting!
Marchel,
Amazing that the customer's believe the media...Um, when did they get their real estate licenses???
Good to see you!
I agree laughter is the best medicine when things are good or bad. The smart people are laughing all the way to the bank with the great deal they got.
Vicky,
Yes you are so right! Glad to see you here...imagine next year with almost half the usual agents...My goodness. 4 hours of sleep a night! if that! LOL, Yes, I new things would work our for us! Thanks for posting!
