Barbara Todaro good morning, Barbara... no one can predict anything with total certainty, but what will come to pass is way more nuanced than many people realize.

Eva B. Liland Century 21 Doug Anderson good morning, Eva... mostly, I want to make sure people are panicking for the sake of panic. No good decisions are made about anything when that happens.

Sheila Anderson hi Sheila... there are enough people out there predicting doom and gloom... and nothing is ever that black or white. We need to keep clients and friends from panicking and letting people hear more than one side of a story.

Joan Cox hi Joan... no doubt every part of the country will recover on its own timeline.  I have little doubt the market will pick up... it's more a question of when.

Sheri Sperry - MCNE® good morning, Sheri... I have no doubt that people who live in places like NYC, LA, SF, etc. will be looking to move once this is behind us.

Roy Kelley hi Roy... I would tend to agree with you on this assessment. Assuming interest rates remain low, people will want to buy.

Will Hamm no doubt, Will... but especially now we need to be communicating with our clients and prospects to keep them from panicking and also to make sure they understand there are nuances to the market and it's not just one extreme or the other.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel that's an excellent point, Alexandra. Right now is not the time to "sell" myself... it's the time to keep clients and prospects from panicking and making stupid decisions because they did.

George Souto hi George... for someone who survived the Great Recession, I think this will end up looking like a piece of cake.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD hi Debb... that was exactly my point in doing this post... that things may not be as bad as they seem right at this moment.

Brian England hi Brian... that's exactly what the experts on my video were saying... that the housing market is stronger and more resilient than many are saying.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra... I keep feeding them little bits of information every few days... so they can absorb it and think about it. At least with my own clients I've found they are very willing to listen, ask questions, engage.

James Dray good morning, James... my money is on May in my market... we are in an under shelter in place till end of April and in Charlotte and my county, we are even more restricted till mid-April in that we can do nothing in real estate that takes us out of our houses... and all we can do now is hope the county doesn't extend this to end of April, as well.

Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS no doubt about that, Paul. My message was there to let people know that doom and gloom is not necessarily their destiny for a number of reasons.

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP thanks, Patricia... that's exactly what I was aiming for... I guess my work here is done now! :)

Patricia Feager, MBA, CRS, GRI,MRP hi there, Patricia... thanks for always putting a smile on my face!

Roy Kelley good morning to you, Roy... thank you for the good wishes and sending mine back to you.

Grant Schneider hi Grant... there are just so many nuances to the housing market... it's not all just good or bad... and I wanted to get that message across.

Lawrence "Larry" & Sheila Agranoff. Cell: 631-805-4400 hi Sheila and Larry... let's face it... any idiot with a license can open doors to houses. It's this other stuff that are the real value we bring to our relationships.

Ricki Eichler McCallum hi Ricki... I agree with you... there's still pent up demand and a lack of inventory. I don't think that will go away.
