Let me get my soap box out for a moment and climb aboard...Okey here goes.
The next reporter that wants to cry on the 5 o'clock news is in for an ear load. I am up to my eye balls with whinning, crying, or bashing the market. Yes the market is terrible where we are, I'm sure if at all it is not a whole lot better in most other places. Get over it! Quit going on and on about the sky is falling! It is not falling! Yes prices have fallen...to where they should be in an adjusted market. Yes buyers are down slightly, as they are around any major election time, as well as in a down trending market.
Let's explore that statement "down trending market". We must have had some upward trend prior to a down trend right? Something like 10 years of double digit appreciation? I can go on and on, we all heard it before, we just don't listen, but our clients do....
They listen to the negitive comments daily on radio, TV, News paper, magazine, water cooler, and locker room experts, etc. We need to be in thier ear with positives! Such as...the market is bottoming out, great time to buy, history shows a typical increase in buying and prices, right after, regardless of the outcome of elections.
Adjust your price to compensate for the market and get rid of the home while you still have time to leverage your buying power in a buyers market on your next purchase.
Another pet peeve, BUBBLE, I hear bubble again before or after Real Estate and I'll introduce a new term. Postal Bubble!
If you don't want to get proactive about turning the market back around, get out a buy a few deals your self, encourage you clients to take advantage of the market. Well I hear Walmarts are opening up every where and are always hiring!
What are you doing?
