I dont know about you, but for me this has been a very long week, by Tuesday I was hoping it was Friday.
My office has been busy and so its been a bit crazy. What I have noticed this week here In Tampa is that things are going to get better. As you all know we have been hit pretty hard, our prices here have dropped over 25%, my home has lost 50% of its Value in just 18 months! and so yes its been bad.
But my fellow Americans I do see a light at the end of the tunnel.
I know we all watch the news, "new homes fell by 10%" "existing homes sales fell by 10%" "this is the worst its been in the last 25 years", well you know what, I AGREE, but enough with the bad news.
how about some good news! how about the fact that now our median price here in Tampa is $140,000 from the $245,000 two years ago, and now first time buyers and people with lower income can BUY HOMES, how about the fact that homes are starting to move and we are having some closings, how about the fact that my subdvision sold 3 homes in just this past week. I know its bad out there, and I know that people are going through very hard times, I get it! but I think that we should also share some good news with people so that they can start to feel confident again and start buying homes. I might be off base on this one, but I think its time to search for some good news in all this negative press, or we will never get buyers out to buy homes.
I am sure we will hear about the Market tanking today by over 200 points, how about the fact that it was at 8000 points a few months ago, I think we need to start seeing the positive in the negative.
My daughters 2nd grade report card had 5 A's and one C should I look at the negative or should I praise her for all her "A"s
Enough with negative press :
How about the fact that interest rates are the lowest they have been in years!!!! thats positive news.
How about the fact that our country DID NOT just go through a devasting earthquake like Hati just did.
We can look for the positive always!
