What Just Happened? Real Estate's Roller Coaster Ride

In the days between oh... somewhere around the last days of July, and the 28th day of August, - I was checking, every 10 - 15 minutes to make sure I had a working cell phone number. I'd call myself from another phone to see if it would, in fact, ring. I suddenly felt sort of... unemployed. more on that later - or maybe that's another blog post, because that's an interesting concept actually, now that I think of it. And then WHAM! I listed three houses, and put four under agreement and scheduled home tours for buyer clients and began negotiations on several different properties until my daytimer was positively BURSTING at the seams. Nothing makes me happier than to be short of time. that has it's own little stress activators, that's true. But there's an adrenaline there that I really like. so the point of this.... Even if it's in fits and starts ladies and gentleman, real estate is moving. i have a buyer client who just got a mortgage commitment at 4.7% STOP IT! Are you kidding me? and that's a 30 year conventional. Go buyers - GO! No! that's not what I mean. I meant, come HERE buyers! but seriously, either way. It's a great leap to make, and clearly - at least until I'm checking my dial tone again, you will be in excellent company along with all the other smart home-buying population. If you're a homeowner thinking of selling, get it out there while the fish are biting.
