Market Trends

 

Questions marks

Every year the Real Estate Market has relatively predictable trends when it comes to activity, as well as increasing or decreasing listing counts. So when you hear in the local news that there is a marked increase in the number of homes on the market over the next several weeks.....guess what, that's a normal trend for the Spring Market!

 Economic and Financial Market Outlook 2012 

 

GlobeWhile governments have been tasked with cutting back, central banks are keeping the fires burning with low interest rates and as-needed doses of bond buying activity. The Federal Reserve has been the most verbal in its commitment to maintaining accommodative policy "at least until late 2014". Our forecast is that interest rates will remain low for longer than we expected in December 2011 and that this will support the global economy as governments pull back. Read the full report.

Thoughts of the Month

  

"There's one sad truth in life I've found while journeying east and west. The only folks we really wound are those we love the best. We flatter those we scarcely know. We please the fleeting guest. And deal full many a thoughtless blow to those who love us best."

Ella Wheeler Wilcox
1850-1919, Author and Poet

 

"Every problem is just an opportunity dressed in work clothes." 

 Henry Kaiser 

 

"The start is what stops most people."

Don Shula
Former NFL Coach

 

"I realized early on that success was tied to not giving up. Most people in this business gave up and went on to other things. If you simply didn't give up, you would outlast the people who came in on the bus with you."

Harrison Ford
