Today's Real Estate Market

By
Real Estate Agent with Oregon Real Estate Prpoerties

So many say the Market is down right now. I have qualified buyer's, that are buying, deals are closing. Yet I have a dozen listings that are sitting. We have reduced prices, we have offered closing cost, I have spend time and money to maximize exposure, still nothing. Sorta contradicting. I watch T.V. and I hear what They say about the market. One day its improving the next day its crashing. I wonder what would happen to the market if the so called experts ( media) would just shut up about it. Personally I don't think it's that bad, Who would have thought that you have to have a job and decent credit and a suitable debt to income ratio to get qualified, there really are people out their to fit that profile. And oh no the homes are not gaining $100,000 in value every year, that does not mean if someone buys a home in todays market they will lose money. That is the silliest thing I 3ever heard. In the norm it takes home 3-7 years to gain a decent profitable value. Some Jerk goes on national T.V. and tells people " DO NOT BUY NOW,YOU WILL LOSE MONEY" then says its a buyers market. Confused?? I would be if I didn't know so first handedly what is really going on. Yes the market is slower that last year, and that year slower than the last, will it pick up? Is the media stirring our clients and prospects? I wonder if they said the market is showing signs of improvement buy now while you can if people whould get out there and start buying. I am hopeful the market will turn around. My goal now is to get as many listings as I can cause as soon as it gets going again I will a ton of inventory! Good luck to all you agents out there, if you are struggling just ride it out, if your doing well congrats and keep up the good work!
