A Blogger's Resolution!

By
Real Estate Agent with Re/Max Plus

This is the time of year for resolutions. It's the time of year I like to take a look at both my life and my business and see what's working and what isn't.

When I look back at my first few months as a blogger on Active Rain, I think it's been a great learning experience. I used my blog posts as a way of reaching others, but also as a way of reflecting on my own practices. I'm looking forward to another year as part of this supportive Active Rain community.

GraphOne thing I noticed about my blog, however, is that my "Weekly Market Report" posts seem to be getting a little redundant. There doesn't seem to be enough activity in the Western Wayne County area to warrant my reporting it every single week. It's just a lot of the same trends.

So, as the New Year begins, I'm going to back off on my market reporting slightly, and broaden it at the same time. Instead of reinventing the wheel and posting my own weekly reports, I'm going to use the data provided to me by the Greater Rochester Association of Realtors by sharing their monthly County Home Sales Statistics for Monroe, Ontario, and Wayne Counties. By doing so, you'll be able to compare the market activity in the three counties. There should also be more noticeable trends on a month-to-month basis.

It's my resolution to bring you the best market data I can through this blog, and I think this is a step in the right direction. I'll be posting the December statistics as soon as they become available. Stay tuned!

Hey, Kristen.

I treat each day like any other day. That way I never have to make resolutions, and I'm better prepared to work my business plan each and every day, persistently and consistently. By doing that, my week, month, and yearly goals naturally fall into place with very adjustments required.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life -- make it a good start.

Jim, that's a great way to look at it. I tend to do that more, too... this one just happened to coincide with the New Year!
