  • sunday's paper,  the times picayune, real estate section "forecast 2008".  affirmation of my earlier blog things are picking up.  glynn gardner (president prudential gardner) stated " the good news is we're seeing a real up-trend in activity. it started right after the new year." furthermore arthur sterbcow stated " i think we're going to have a year very similar to 2004, which was probably the fourth best year in the history of new orleans in terms of residential sales." the last thing i wanted to quote to back up what i have been passing around for a long while now- if it's a buyers market then why are you not buying before it swings the other way????-  "it is definitely a buyer's market! buyers are starting to take advantage of this opportunity and not let it pass them by." missy whittington- executive vice president new orleans metropolitan association of realtors. so i leave these tid bits for all the nay sayers. "the sky is falling" blah blah " the road home program is messed up" blah blah blah. pass the positivity around and it will be positive!!! good day.
