Bill- Plus there are still some great products for mortgages for these clients. and rates are still relatively low.

Hey Bill,

I hear you!  This is a great time to buy and the media is not helping our business.  Like you, I am trying to promote the positive features concerning the current market.  I think that it is important to distinguish this time from every other time that we, as real estate professionals have said, "this is  a great time to buy". This is a great time if you do not have a home to sell.  It is a great time to buy a multi-family.  It is a great time to do a major rehab, but many other investment types might not be so good right now.  We have to make sure that we "keep it real" with our enthusiasm if we want to be heard.   I am planning on attending foreclosures in the Springfield area over the next few weeks.  I hope that you  get a chance to check out what is happening at the auctions on my blog.  Hang in there Spring is right around the corner!!!!!
