There is nothing to Fear but Fear itself.

By
Real Estate Agent with EB Realty

Have your heard this saying before? The only thing to fear is fear itself. 

I'm sure you have. I have some clothing with the logo NO FEAR. I am in the no fear camp. I have some experience behind my belt and believe in the Bob Marley song that says "Don't worry bout a thing....cause.... every little thing... is going to be all right"  In the retail business when you see a bargain you buy it! You buy low...sell high...for a profit. Basic sound economics, right? Well folks...even though property in the Grand Junction Area has not gone down in value like the rest of The Nation...sellers are scared! Scared sellers mean bargains for buyers!!!! Buyers get it‼! Bargains!

Let us look at fundamental (non Allen Greenspan or Ben B's) economics.

In an expanding market,...a market where jobs are abundant and workers are scarce, the economy is robust. When there are more renters than houses to rent...this is a buying opportunity. Grand Junction real estate fits this scenario. Economies are local. Real Estate markets are local. In the Grand Junction area due to the vast gas fields in our backyard, our economy is booming. Gas wells are being dug on a daily basis. There are not enough workers to keep up with the new leases. I have folks calling me looking for rentals. New people are moving into the area usually from depressed areas. They do not realize that Grand Junction Real Estate is not belly up like in other places. They are afraid to buy. The sellers are afraid because they listen to the boob tube. NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE!

I know there are those out there that are scouting out the bargains on Wall Street...if you are like me ...you see one, get ready to pull the trigger ...and it falls yet again.

Doesn't it make since to hop into an asset that you can touch and feel...live in or rent? If you have credit, down-payment and a good broker (you do if you use me) this is the time to jump into the market. If you cannot afford the price of admission...stay away from the contract! If you would like some candid, advise from a seasoned professional call me! If you are a scared, first time homebuyer Call Me. If you are a seller that needs help Call Me. If you want to find out more about this area, Call Me.

And that is all I have to say about that‼‼

Elizabeth- good post. I'm of the glass is half full thought too.

HOWEVER, you say that your area has not been hit,  Therefore, it's easy to talk about NO FEAR.  Here in NC, we were of the same thought, until this summer. Now the Buyers have virtually disappeared, layoffs are happening, and the market it getting scarier and scarier.  We try to be optimistic, but can't bury our heads in the sand either.

have a great weekend. I was in Vail a couple of years ago, loved it, wish I was there now.

I have always had my head either in the clouds or in the sand and have somehow survived. But there are times when you can't do a thing about the present situation without a radical change. I think I'll go on vacation. The best way to get business going is to leave town. For me vacationing is radical. If it doesn't work at least I'll be happy and relaxed. 

I love your area too.
