Where Have all the Buyers Gone?

Good Evening Everyone,

After one of the busiest fall buying seasons in recent memory, all of the sudden it's DEAD, DEAD, DEAD! I'm not sure where all the Buyers have gone but they sure don't seem to be heading to the White Mountains. Maybe it's because it has been so nice down in the low lands but we usually see some traffic this time of year. There is snow coming soon, really there is. It won't be long before those slopes open again. After your ski trip stop in and say howdy, I'd love to help you find your Perfect Place for your White Mountain getaway.

I guess everyone out Holiday Shopping and putting off their home buying trips and searches until after Christmas? I'm really not complaining, just not sure what to do with myself. I was so busy for so long it seems strange to have time on my hands. I always have work to do like updating the website, working on my DB input tasks, etc. but I sure would rather be out showing property. Guess I should have planned a December vacation. Maybe there is still time to do that. I'll have to check in to it. Going out of town always generates activity so that may do the trick.

Hope you all are keeping busy. Any extra clients you don't know what to do with you can send them my way. I'm always game for a referral.

Later All.

Sandie P.

I thought it was just my office that was dead. What a relief!

It was really busy all the fall and it is like someone turned off the tap. Just too quiet for comfort. It will change, it always does, we just need to get through the Holidays.

I think they are all out spending their money on everything but real estate. I'm starting to catch up on some of my files that needed filed and shredded. This down time is also helping me work my database.

I am sure things will pick up after the holidays. I guess in your neck of the woods, Christmas is not buying time. Just catch up because you probably won't have time after the holidays.

Christmas is a buying time, but not for houses. Things have been complicated further here by the weather. It has been a very wet December with snow storms coming through about every other day. No one, including Agents, want to be out showing property in a snow storm or wading through deep snow to get to the houses. It may be a month or two yet before we see much activity for these reasons. It is okay, it has been nice to have a little break to get caught up and start my planning for 2012. Happy Holidays everyone.
