You might think that my thoughts are turning to pulling a good book out ...grabbing a cup of coffee and settling in for a wonderful afternoon of being lost in words. On the contrary I have been calling expired listing and it feels more like I am a therapist than REALTOR !
The situation so many of these sellers are in tugs at your heart. It takes a lot of detachment and guts to talk with someone who purchased a home at the height of the bubble and not tell them exactly what they want to hear. And believe me what they want to hear is the market is going to come back with a bang... and prices will be back like they were two years ago. WRONG !
The kindest thing we can do for people in these sad situations is tell the TRUTH ! And the truth is we feel like we are near the bottom but the only way we will know that for sure is after the fact. Monitoring the MLS statistics and Metro Market Trends give us insight in to what is happening in the past month. But that by no means is a crystal ball.... it takes interpreting those stats and just being out there working with buyers and sellers to really know the market.
