The New Year Will Bring Change

Hi Joan, Yes, I wish that we knew what will transpire in the housing market. There are some bright spots here in Ann Arbor. Although just travel a little out of the town & sales become sluggish.

For the most part, the nation as a whole was in a seller's market for over ten years. Now it's the buyer's turn to get the great deals. Real estate runs its cycles through history, There are many fantastic housing deals all over the country, so this is now the time to buy. The constant doom and gloom media reports really don't help the real estate market, but I know everyone in the real estate industry will try to make it a great year for buyers and sellers . Anyway, the media and top economists predicted we would have $5/gal gasoline by the end of 2008. So, where are we now in real estate?

I really do hope you are at the bottom of your market because our prices are starting fall up here, not as fast as yours did, but still falling. We are usually about a year behind you in trends and if you start to rise in about a year we can expect the same to happen here.

So welcome to Activerain and let us all do the market recovery dance, if there is one.

Hi Joan, Welcome to AR, Be a Blogholic and start writing your own blog soon on AR. All the best for your RE business. This is the right place for customers, friends, realtionships etc.
