REASONS FOR A POSITVE OUTLOOK RIGHT NOW

By
Real Estate Agent with Robert Defalco Realty

 Let's face it.  2007 was a trying year for realtors and mortgage broker and homesellers too. But the past is the past . We all have to look at the circumstances now to be positive.  First, the rates are really low and they are predicting that they will be going even lower. Second, a lot of prices of homes .have already come down and buyers can get a good deal.  Homeowners, if they are reasonable with their price have a good chance of getting a buyer.

As far as us realtors go where can you work in a business that is always exciting, never boring, changes from day to day.  I love this business because I am an adventurous person who cannot spend my day sitting in an office from 9 to 5.  I like dealing with people and lets face it you meet all kinds (mostly good). You can have some flexibility in your schedule and you are your own boss. When a deal does come together and close the money is great . Real estate keeps my heart pumping, gives me a rush, allows me some time for my first great passion  - running. I say lets toast to a prosperous 2008 - our positive outlooks will bring us prosperity.

Gaye,

The real estate market couldn't be better for the buyer, as home prices are soft and mortgage rates are very low. What more can you ask. The seller has to come to grips with reality and price the property right and it'll sell. Have a great 2008.
