Things Do Happen!

I love this quote by JP Morgan... "When you expect things to happen - strangely enough - they do happen."

I know a lot of my sellers are getting discouraged with today's market but don't give up there is the right person or family looking for your home... be patient, it will happen!

Here is part of an article I found in Realty Times that I thought that my customers and friends would find interesting and maybe even encouraging.

There is progress being made across the nation. Pending sales increased for the second consecutive month, that according to the National Association of Realtors and their latest Pending Home Sales Index.

Pending sales rose 4.3 percent, and were up in all regions except the Northeast, which saw a 2.9 percent decline. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the latest data is consistent with a gradual improvement in home sales in upcoming months. "Attractive affordability conditions from very low mortgage interest rates appear to be bringing buyers back to the market," he said. "However, the pace of a home sales recovery still depends more on job creation and an accompanying rise in consumer confidence." Realty Times

So everyone, let's hope that retailers will be hiring workers for the holidays and we should also hope the holidays will bring a rise in consusmer confidence and that confidence will be carried in to 2011.
