market: Sellers Might be GETTING the Message Now Deal with the Buyer - 04/26/09 07:45 AM
Buyers are beginning to run into a strange new phenomenon.  COMPETING OFFERS!!  Somehow we have done such a good job of making buyers believe in the 'slowdown' that they are starting to act as if it were real.  You know the buyer who wants to offer 20% less than asking price on every contract.  It doesn't matter to him whether the home is priced correctly or not; the guys at the office are telling him that you should offer less and he doesn't want to look like a pushover.  He hasn't had an offer accepted yet, but he knows its only … (0 comments)

market: Let the system do it's work; buyers are watching - 04/07/09 07:40 PM
Lots of sellers seem to be lamenting the fact that strangers aren't streaming through their homes.  Seems to me that might be a good thing!
Maybe an example would be instructive.

market: Bet your bippy! (make a play for yourself, not the lottery) - 10/07/08 07:51 AM
Is this a good time to buy?  You bet your bippy!
 
What people really want ot know is whether the market has hit the bottom yet.  We will only know where the bottom was when we look back from some distance.  Then it will be too late to have bought at the bottom.
Now I am going to ramble a little.  Indulge me; it could make you rich!
