I watched a financial expert on tv this morning, while waiting for my wife to get ready for church, who stated that the only factor keeping our strong economy from recovery is the "lagging real estate market" and I was absolutely dumbfounded. The whole economy, banking, manufacturing, transportation, commodities, and all the others are waiting for us to get their confidence back? Suddenly I found a new reason to be more motivated than ever to get people to take advantage of the low interest rates and invest in real estate while the market is as good as it is going to be. Prices are lower and there is more choices than you may ever find again for loans with the best rates we have seen since when? What is really holding us back as far as consumer confidence is concerned? I believe it is the fear of the unknown, an unfounded fear based on potential possibilites of unforseen problems we have no factual basis for. This country has been through a lot tougher times than this and recovered quickly and we can do it again, if every agent, buyer and seller with just get up and do their part. I for one am ready to answer the call to help our country recover it's confidence and hope you will too! Happy Independence Day America and God Bless America!
