My Thoughts on and Perceptions of the Real Estate Market - June 6, 2011

There seems to be a lull in the market this week. I think people are (understandably) listening to national news reports, so they have pulled back for a short period of time. We are such an exclusive market, and continue to appeal to locals, second home buyers, and Silicon Valley expatriates, who want to live here for all the obvious reasons that make our community so attractive. This has happened repeatedly these past four years, but the buyers regain confidence (as best they can in these tough times) and come back into the market. This is a reason our volume numbers remain even, and prices seem to be holding steady for now, or in some months just single digit depreciation year over year. I know it's an optimistic projection, but I'm working with a number of people, so my comments are based on their attitudes and outlook.

We are getting more activity in our market, Lorain County Ohio. But the national news makes it sound like we are "doomed" at times.

David:  I appreciate your perspective and share it.  Our markets seem to attract the same clientele and it's been slow around here, too.  The unseasonal rain storms haven't helped but summer is coming.  Good for the beaches and the normally arid Sonoma Valley.
