As the market has changed David Emerson, a 25 year real estate veteran compared his profession to a doctors’ saying “You go from being like a doctor who delivers babies in a booming real estate market,” he said, “to being an oncologist just giving people bad news all day long”. 

I certainly find a lot of truth in this quotation.  As a twenty five year real estate professional, I have seen a once warm and fussy and full of joy profession become treacherous, difficult and changing everyday.  Success, Experience, it matters, now more than ever in the real estate world.  Whether buying or selling let’s talk about the health of your real estate.

I think for my entire life I have heard humans need eight glasses of water a day to remain healthy.  I wonder just how many people followed this sage advice.  I know I probably did not, but rather drink water when my body tells me to.  So after a life time of this believe the American Medical Association concluded last week that 8 glasses of water a day is not necessary and one should drink water when the body demands.

In today’s real estate market one hears all kinds of advice from relatives, neighbors, doctors, physiatrists, gardeners, and the guy who pumps gas.  Well, it is time to take action on your own and listen to real estate professionals.  There may never be a better time to buy than right now.  Everyone is wondering what is going to happen in the future instead of focusing on what is happening right now.  The fact is that prices have dropped in some areas about 20% from a year ago and inventories have forced this issue.  Listen to the market as you listen to your body when it needs water.  It is time to buy when inventories are high and prices are down.  The market has had plenty of water and it is time for real estate to catch on fire. Don’t get burned.

And please remember to drink water when your body demands.  That is certainly good advice.
