I was talking to several agents about this yesterday. Time is running out quickly on getting folks to pull the trigger on getting their new home. I do not believe that many folks understand how long it takes to get through this process...

Helping you live your American Dream...

Good morning Michael,

This is the reason That I am using the countdown clock to let them know that time is short and that they need to do something now ot be left behind.  I am not to sure that this program will continue but if it does that is ok too the clock can always be reset.

Have a GREAT day sir.

I think we are seeing more and more active listings because people know that after December 1st, home sales may just disappear and if they want to sell, they better get it on the market now!

Hi Don:

There's that tax credit ticker again!

It's a great time to buy.

So many homes to choose from.

Don I love the count down clock.  Where can I get one of those?  I think 1st timers are getting it BIG TIME here in Phoenix.  It's nuts out there with mulitiple offers on anything worthwhile under 250K.  Yesterday one of my agents told me he was up against 14 others in one deal and 27 in the other.  That is just plain nuts.

I heard the time clock may be extended and open it up to any buyers - that would level the playing field and we could move some of the higher priced inventory (which is someone dead).  I hope that happens.

George,

I think that you are right and if the sellers are motivated they will price accordingly, right, in order to get their home sold so they will be able to move on with their plans.

Anna,

It sounds as though Phoenix buyers have come to know just what is going on.  Now it is time for the rest of the US to get the message.

Terry,

I am thinking that the buyers will come out within the next couple of weeks and then we will be rushing for about a month.

 Pirate Terry Miller,

You can steal it if you want but, it would be easier to just go to the site and get one of your own.
