The Gods Must Be Crazy….Fishhawk Lake (Real Estate) Thoughts

 

The Gods Must Be Crazy…crazy GOOD that is. They are shining down on me, creating sunshine and success in the stormy downpours of a November in Oregon.

 

In approximately the last 3 weeks, I’ve seen three transactions close, a new listing/sale pending in 2 weeks (I’m representing both sides), a cash buyer pop into the office (yes, a WALK-IN!), make a quick offer on a lot of mine, to build a spec home that I will list and this will close tomorrow. I have two more new listings since yesterday AND a cash buyer who made an offer that was accepted by my buyers over the phone immediately!

 

As if THAT’S NOT ENOUGH…Thanksgiving Day, I happened to have had a minute to look at the ActiveRain Daily Drop, while waiting for food to cook and VOILA! the ActiveRain Gods put my blog from the day before about my lovely sellers in the line-up!

 

                                  CRAZY GOOD!!

(Sorry, that's why you haven't seen my little face on your blogs lately....).

And I heard today on national public radio that Oregon is bucking the system and not showing the same downward trends in housing prices, like the rest of the U.S.!!

All good and well deserved news Gayle.  I loved that movie, the Gods Must Be Crazy.  The only thing that would make the week perfect is if you traveled to the Smokies and picked up these two loving homeless black labs of Dillsboro ;-D

Congratulations, sounds like you are on a great roll.

Awesome Gayle. I am so very happy for you dear friend. You do deserve it. It's amazing to me that your little community is that hopping - shows you how desirable it is...and that you are the only Realtor to call in Fishhawk Lake.

By the way, bought my sis a Gurgle Pot for Christmas - she will love it. At any rate, thought of you.

( What secret?) #5? Now, I'm curious. :)

All around awesome news!  I've always believed good things come to those who know how to work hard - and in this economy - know a little patience too.  You deserve the success Gayle and thanks so much for sharing!

By the way, your blog took me back to the first time i saw "The Gods Must Be Crazy" - so long ago, but loved the movie!

OH, gosh, everybody, thank you for your support. Still going with a couple of loose ends on one deal due to close possibly end of this week, and preparing for an inspection on the one I put into Sale Pending on Tuesday (it seems sooooo long ago). How do we fit Christmas in with all of this?

I have tried to visit your blogs, instead of commenting here, but if I have missed you, I apologize.

Great end of year crazy talk!!  BTW the movie "The Gods Must Be Crazy" was one of the funniest movies I've watched.  Sometimes we don't believe things that fall out of the sky . . . but they can be very good!!
