"Is Real Estate Picking Up"?

"Is Real Estate Picking Up"? People who know I'm a realtor great me with this each time we talk. What happened to how are you? Or nice day isn't it? I now have an auto responder in my brain that just takes over when the question is asked. With prices and interest rates the lowest they have been in years, it's the best time ever to buy. If your selling find a very aggressive agent and you will get your house sold despite what you are hearing out there...and how are you today? If we all want to keep buying into the economy is horrible our numbers will reflect that. In Safety Harbor, Dunedin, Palm Harbor and the West Coast Beaches things really are moving along. Less inventory, things priced correctly for current market value are selling. The banks giving away homes that have been foreclosed will still pull down values. I find it ironic that the banks can't get short sales with good solid offers closed, but they can foreclose and sell the homes for far less then appraised values. If we all ran our business that way we would be on the streets. Enough said! Is real estate picking up for you?
