UPDATE

I just spent a few minutes with a client who walked into the Coral Springs office. She is looking for a second home and investment property. They are here from Salt Lake. I talked to her about the advantages of buying in this market and she had a lot of gloom and doom (things she'd heard) - oh and her mother had a condo in Bloomington Hills that she couldn't give away. I asked if the condo in question was on the market and she said no, so I asked is she trying to sell it on her own as a FSBO? No, she really hadn't tried selling it for a couple of years now. SO, I just get the feeling that sometimes people are just talking and repeating things they've heard someone else say 'cause they don't have an opinion of their own. Sometimes I do the same, but I try to keep it zipped if I know I don't know. This is a good market! St. George is THE place to buy right now, and there are just as many articles out there to back that as there are negative ones. The people that are not ready to buy are going to have the awful stories to fall back on and use as excuses, and in a few years they will kick themselves when they say "if only we had bought back in 2008!" it is going to come back around and I'm going to do what I can to take advantage NOW, not later!
