Will Housing Experience a "Trump Lift"?

I was certainly glad to hear what Donald Trump had to say on yesterday's "Good Morning America" show, on ABC. It was just a year ago that Trump did a segment on Larry King Live, speaking about Selling in an Upside Down Market.

On ABC's Good Morning America Show today, he was interviewed by Diana Sawyer, and gave this encouraging advice, "Buy now, if you can."

His prediction - That buyers will have the next year for a historical opportunity to purchase homes.

I couldn't help but wonder if Trump's comments would provide for housing, a "Trump Lift" - similar to the "Icahn Lift" which sometimes affects Wall Street.

Here's the link to the video of the segment:

When the Ritz came to Sarasota, we called it the "Ritz Effect!" I hope there is some sort of positive reaction whatever you call it.

WE heard about Donald's words of wisdom...now if he just could afford a good barber, he could raise his credability quotient ! Thanks for the video !

Hi Myrl,

I recently posted on ActiveRain a similar blog about The Donald's visit to GMA.

Here it is if you'd like to see it Donald Trump Speaks About the Housing Market

Let's all hope we get the "Trump Bump"!

Best regards,

Craig

Much luck and success.

Keep on blogging.

In NY, we have at leat 1-2 years before the markets turns around.

Mr Trump is right about one thing there is now is the time to buy.

I believe one of the keys to the Trump Bump is that other media outlets climb aboard with the concept otherwise it may not grow long enough legs.

Let's hope Donald Trump has some impact on the real estate market and provide a "Trump Lift".

If someone has the funds, buy now. Unfortunately, not as many people seem to have the funds because they're having to spend on fuel and other necessities like food. ~Evelyn

Thank you all for your input! All very good comments!

I also agree with Mr. Trump. It is time to buy as much as you can afford. I just wish he had a different barber.

Robert- I agree with you about Trump. I think about how much money that guy has, and wonder why he can't find some to "LIFT" that hair!
