It is the day after Thanksgiving and judging by the activity on my calendar consumers are out shopping--for homes. This is not a national reading or prediction of housing recovery; it is a real time report of hyper-local activity from my appointment log for November 27, 2009:
1. Respond to counter offer for triplex (my buyers made one of eight offers). The competition is fierce for positive cash flow properties.
2. Confirm fourth showing for prospective buyers with my seller. Give us a reasonable offer and the seller will give it serious consideration.
3. Schedule showings for buyers who are tired of waiting for their short sale offer to be accepted. Buyers are not in the mood to wait months for banks to take action while prices inch upward. A sense of urgency has returned.
4. Respond to Thanksgiving Day request for more information on two of my listings. You have to love the 24/7, holidays included, effectiveness of Internet marketing.
5. Check on paperwork for new listing and two price reductions. How about a new house for the holidays, or at least a contract on one? Lot and land listings are attracting investor's attention once again and a price adjustment may tip the scales in favor of a sale.
And the lists goes on.
No time for mall crowds today and that's okay with me. I'm too busy helping sellers sell and buyers buy. This is my contribution to the economic stimulus plan for today, and that is how the recovery will happen--one day at a time.
