If wishes were horses, beggars would ride, and wishing the market to be better is not providing a good and valued service to your clients.

Seattle is quite different from most parts of the Country, in that our cup is 95% full as to price and half empty as to volume.
But I do urge those who shell out advices day in and day out regarding good time to sell and good time to buy, to study their own market in depth before offering advices. Or look for currently relevant and local forecasts to back your answers with.
