With the new rule on flipping homes extended--we should at least see the home comparables adjust, if, investors buy homes at a low price and resell at a higher price within a short period time. I hope the appraisers will consider this .I think one of the biggest problems is the appraisals, since some of these homes are selling below a decent market value. Hopefully the extended ruling will spur buyers to invest and flip. Maybe a spike in home sales?-----I wish I had the money right now----

There is lots of work to be done this year fellow agents. Laying a good foundation before the market starts to turn is very important and we are being given a great opportunity to do so.. Get your marketing in place, make sure your clientelle knows who you are, you will be to busy to do that later . People are reading and looking now and will come around when they are told by the media to do so. So be ready and let them know who is always busy and motivated.

I hear many agents complain about how bad the market is. If you were to talk to Donald Trump , billionaire real estate entropeneur---he will tell you this is the best market in over 30 years. It is all in your attitude. I believe there is more real estate available right now at the best prices and lowest interest rates I have seen in 30 years. My attitude is, we have to shift as the market shifts. Help the buyers invest now and lay a ground work for the sales to follow. Do your marketing now as sellers will be looking for agents later when the time to sell comes. Many people are getting great deals and the market will shift as the pendulum swings. Get in place and be ready for the sellers and right now help the buyers. Always market no matter how low you budget goes. Eat bread but keep marketing.
