Showings have picked up. Open house traffic has picked up. Sign calls have picked up. But still no one willing to step up and buy. What is the deal. This is really a great time to buy a home. I just don't understand why we don't have buyers lined up buying homes. Interest rate are at all time low. We have the $8000 tax credit for first time home buyers. And here in Oklahoma we even have special down payment assistance for first time home buyers, so they can get in for no money down.
It is just amazing why we don't have more homes selling than we do. Now you talk to Realtors around and boy you would think we have selling more than ever. But when you check the stats on the MLS the truth comes out. We are still selling half as many homes today as we did in 2006. What can we do to get things turned around.
I will say for those of us who are still in the business, we must have an optimistic view of the world. We know that it will turn around and we always think it will be soon. We just have to keep preaching the word on how buying now is the thing to do. I know someone out there will hear us and believe us.
Keep the faith. Keep on selling.
