A combination of lower prices, a large inventory and mortgage rates well below 7 percent offer buyers a terrific opportunity. Real estate truly is a long-term investment.And,
It really doesn't matter if we're at the bottom [of the market cycle] yet. What matters is, can you find what you want? If you wait till it's a good market and everyone's buying, you won't have as much choice.
“What consumers see in the newspapers and online is based on the view of the national market from 50,000 feet. Those numbers don’t reflect the true story in any single marketplace.”and,
“We have to get localized and start showing consumers that real people just like them are successfully buying and selling homes in this market. The price range has nothing to do with it; it’s all relative to what you do with it.”and,
"For the people that have been in their homes for four years or longer, the possibilities of what they can do in this marketplace are tremendous – especially if they look in their own market.”and,
“I always urge consumers to talk with a professional, and to look at their individual situation. You never know what you can do until you ask and investigate.”
"The sellers are still looking at the price their neighbor got two years ago, and the buyers are looking for the mythical 30 percent price cut [the media keeps ranting about] and they're both wrong," he said. "It'll take some time for the stalemate to end."
“The young hang mirrors in their homes. [Uptown] The elderlyhang paintings. [Old HP/Preston Hollow] And, if I may make an ungenerous observation, residents of rural communities [Rowlett, Ft. Worth, etc.] display crafts – those dubious products of spare time, limited motor skill, and inexpensive yarn.”
As someone who has shown all of the above I cannot tell you the profound truth this quote holds.
