Thank you for calling out what I think are ...Chip,<br /><br />Thank you for calling out what I think are two important factors missed by most economists and The NAR, at times.<br /><br />First, what I will refer to as "robbing Peter to pay Paul," the new home buyer credit certainly has had a major impact on the housing market and without a doubt shortented normal marketing times - and inventory. However, in doing so, averages and numbers will display what can be confusing / false information - the next measuring period "slowing down," for instance.<br /><br />The second point of interest is that year over year results for not one, but two comparitive years are UP - not down!<br /><br />Pair those two factors together, along with the Midwest's record heat this summer, and I think there's reason to be looking forward and not back. <br /><br />Last, I wanted to make mention that all indications from the many 3rd party relocation management firms I interact with are all reporting upswing in volume - both Globally and US Domestic as well. It appears to me the economy is slowly improving and some positive reinforcement from those publishing such articles could only help it along.<br /><br />Thanks for your work - as I have become accustomed, it is right on the money once again.<br /><br />Chris Cicen, CRP<br />Odyssey Relocation Management<br />Orange County, CA<br />714-800-1915Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11259187.post-56999800843078817372010-08-25T13:34:59.530-05:002010-08-25T13:34:59.530-05:00http://vranas.typepad.com/paul_vranas_chicago_busi...http://vranas.typepad.com/paul_vranas_chicago_busin/2010/08/825-silver-lining-in-july-home-sales-report.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137584984997871653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11259187.post-90674608549211349672010-08-24T19:52:53.408-05:002010-08-24T19:52:53.408-05:00Chip,
I couldn't agree with you more. While J...Chip,<br /><br />I couldn't agree with you more. While July and early August did slow, I have seen an increase in activity in the past few days. <br /><br />This summer has been the hottest summer since the 1800's. Who wants to look at houses in the heat. I don't!<br /><br />In addition, it seems like more people vacationed this summer, many of whom hadn't vacationed for the previous few years. There absence I believe was felt and now that school is starting people who want to buy will start refocusing their efforts on home buying. I also happen to think people vacationing is a good thing. It means they are tired of cutting back and now feel more comfortable spending money.<br /><br />I fully plan on being busy the rest of the year and will continue to spread the positive word, just like you.<br /><br />Thanks again. <br /><br />Thanks, <br /><br />Joe Stacy <br />"Not Your Average Joe" <br />Koenig & Strey GMAC Real Estate <br />847-874-6731 <br />www.joestacy.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
