Something to Think About by Paul Lepere

We're now entering into our 4th year of a downturn in the real estate market and economy.

• No longer are houses listed for 24 hours and we receive 3 full price offers on the property.
• No longer are buyers running to homes so they could be the first to preview.
• No longer are are sellers saying "Who needs Realtors, I spend a $1.50 on a For Sale sign, that's good enough".
• No longer are bankers offering 200 different programs.
• No longer are sellers saying "Take it or leave it".
• No longer are sellers using their home to finance cars, vacations and to keep up with the Jones'.
• No longer are buyers purchasing 5 investment properties in one day with no money down.
• No longer are sellers counter offering way over the selling price.
• No longer are high flying little Donald Trumps flaunting their money on $300 bottles of wine.
• No longer are cruise ships 100% sold out.
• No longer are nannies in super demand.
• No longer is a 2 year old car considered junk yard material.
• No longer are people buying penny stocks or long shots.
• No longer is the Dow Jones skyrocketing out of sight.
• No longer is Heavy in Debt the trend.
