Positive Vibrations

Amazingly, Sunday I tried to put an offer in for a client, only to find out that 4 others had come before and that the seller's agent was no longer taking submissions. The house had only been on the market for 5 days.  My clients and I looked at a lot of properties in the San Jose/Japantown area and almost all of the homes we went to see had other people already there, leaving or coming to look as we were leaving.  Although I was sad for my clients as they loved the home and really wanted to offer on it, I was pretty thrilled that there was so much activity out there in the real estate world, people aimlessly out looking at houses on a Sunday. Ah just like the old days.  Who knows, maybe we might just come out from under this black cloud we have all been under after all.  It seems like the interest rates staying low, the Fannie loan limits increase and maybe even the stimulus plan might be taking effect.  Either that or it was just a really sunny day without a sports event on TV.  As for me?   I think I will stay on the bright side of things and hope we will have some recovery over the spring!
