So how's the market?

I absolutely love hearing that question! 

Where ever I am, that is my favorite conversation starter, mainly because the person asking may be an interested party who may have property! And said ask-er is most likely responding to my answer to "what do you do". 

As a Realtor, I really enjoy getting into conversations about people's homes, lives, dreams and aspirations. Call me crazy but I just love people, even the difficult clients. 

"So How's the market"? Well, "I know that right now is the best time to buy OR sell Real Estate in Austin Texas". 

I know this because of the many years I have spent in our wonderful Real Estate Industry. 

When the market is this hot, people are anxious to sell for top dollar. 

When the market is this hot, people are moving here in droves, hence a good size, steady stream of qualified buyers. 

When you really know you city as we do, there will always be a possibility to connect buyers and sellers. 

It may take time and a ton of showings and multiple offer scenarios for your buyers yet we always find a way. 

Sellers may get multiple offers many good, some scams and I find intuition helps in this environment. 

So the market is really what you make of it in your mind. There are always deals to be had if you are diligent and stay focused on serving others. 

There are many places in this vast world of ours that have what can be referred to as "depressed" markets but I would argue they have a "depressed" community. 

Markets are made by the people in them, after all that is really what a "Market" truly consists of, people! 

So when asked how the market is, I love to answer with one of my positive phrases such as "The Market is fantastic and getting better so how can I help you get involved"?!?!
