Driving out near Tingley Lake to show homes, I came upon this sight:
This is one of the reasons I live in Klamath Falls. There were also white egrets hanging around, and redwing blackbirds and many others I did not recognize. Further out I saw jillions of snow geese (is "jillions" a word?). Unfortunately, I did not have my zoom lens with me and they were too far out to get a good picture. It looked like snow on the ground -- what a sight it would have been had they all taken flight. Alas, I had homes to show and couldn't wait for that moment.
April has shown signs of warmth, but we just had two days of light snow. By this weekend? Temperatures in the 70's they are saying. Could it be that Spring really is here? Buyer's are looking at more homes and visiting open houses, so it looks like they might actually be getting ready to make decisions.
As for our local market, it's looking like it's possible 'the bottom has hit'. For those who are waiting, now may be the time to buy. The positive side of living in Klamath Falls is that since nothing seems to happen in extremes, our prices didn't raise as high, which means they don't have to fall as low. I've heard over and over in classes and seminars that those who get wealthy in real estate buy in a down market.
So....what are you waiting for?
