Where have all the buyers gone?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Elite Real Estate Properties

This market is spooky if you are not a seasoned Real Estate Professional.  I have been in this business for 27 years and I have witnessed this same market several times in my long career.  One thing is for sure, it washes out the part-time agents and the agents that don't have staying power. 

Let's get real about one thing...not everyone should have gotten loans that the mortgage companies gave loans.  For the get rich scheme of mortgage companies and real estate brokers, we are all now paying a handsome price.  I am so sick of listening to doom and gloom from CNN and other news organizations, that I am about to throw my television set in the street.  I for one don't need to believe the "lie" about our economy. Interest rates are great, money is available to credit worthy buyers, there are more great deals out there than you could possibly ever believe. So where are the buyers?   

I think alot of Americans have gone into a shell and are feeding on the mental junk food of Paris, Britney and Lindsey. If they would get back out in the world and see that the economy is in fact thriving (just go to the outlets stores and the malls) they would remember that we are a nation of consumption and then feel better about the economy.

So how is the luxury real estate market?  In Alpharetta Georgia, the luxury market is still in tact. If CNN would stop awlfulizing the real estate market, it would be MUCH better.  We see it in the subdivisions we have listed;  We have great traffic, tons of interest and then... like clockwork, CNN does a special on the Housing Market and how awlful it is and our traffic comes to a screeching halt.... why does American allow CNN to dictate thier buying habits?  With all due respect... I make my own decisions.

Interesting term Ms. Currie.   I have to say that standardize vocab does not always stretch to fit the space adequately.   You may well have coined a new, useful word.   

I am not going let that kinda talk weaken my thinking.  

Thanks for the clarity.
