I am getting activity for property management services, listings and sales which I was not expecting. These are the best kind to get too. I mean the ones you were not expecting that is. I remain optimistic but prefer reality at all times. By this I mean that there are issues that have to be respected and dealt with in 2012

JOB LOSS

Unemployment for California is around 13% and locally 14%. In addtition, threats of lay-offs loom becasue cities and counties cannot balance their budgets. Trying to re-negotiate with the unions is proving difficult too.

BANK SHENNIGANS

Then, we have the flood of REO's, short sales and foreclosures. You would think by now tht the banks would have systems in place to speed up the process and set-up future values. I am sorry to say that while they mean well, they remain out of touch..seriously out of touch

RENTALS

Rental demand is up from people who are having to move rather sudennly (?). Almost everyone has pets, credit issues, unemployment or insufiicent income let alone what it takes to rent a property i.e. a large move-in lump sum.

BUSINESS CAN BE DONE

With all these problems about, business can still be done and things can move forward especially when professionals are involved and out of the box thinking is applied. I am ready to perform my part

CONGRESS AND THE ELECTIONS

2012 will be what we all make it to be excluding CONGRESS who has no clue what is going on. And then there will be the Presidential elections which will affect us for years to come no matter what happens

Interesting this 2012 a coming

Richie,

Business is conducted in any economy. It's our job to find it, despite the outside influences.

I always look at the stats and see that houses sell in up and down markets. My question is always to myself, how can I be one of the listing agents or the buyers agents in those sales.  I know it is out there, and echoing Rich above, I must go find it.
