Wow, crazy spending in our government should cause rising interest rates in the future.\u00a0 Government incentives, mandates, moratoriums and Fed manipulation of the housing market, which got us here in the first place, are running amok right now.\u00a0 The unintended consequences of all these actions are yet to be seen.\u00a0 The NAR is advertising NOW as a great time to buy, just like they did in 2006 and 2007.<\/p>\n

I get buyers and sellers asking me what I think will happen, as I had this weekend.\u00a0 I can tell them with certainty that I expect that things will change from where we are today.\u00a0 Do I tell them the NAR line that it’s a great time to buy a house?\u00a0 No.<\/p>\n

I don’t think it is necessarily a bad time to buy a house, and may even be a pretty good time to buy a house, depending on somebody’s particular situation.\u00a0 On the other hand, if the person who is thinking of buying isn’t sure they’re going to stay put, with the cash flow to pay for their home for a pretty good while, it may be a really poor time to buy a house for that person.<\/p>\n

How about selling?\u00a0 I’ve sold two homes that I personally owned in the last six months.\u00a0 Is it a great time to sell?\u00a0 It was for me.\u00a0 And sell them I did, in about 1\/5 the typical time on market in the area.\u00a0 Could I get more for them in the future?\u00a0 Maybe but I can’t tell you how far into the future that might be.\u00a0 I tell clients that this may, or may not, be a good time for them to sell depending on their situation.<\/p>\n

So, the NAR advertising line irritates me.\u00a0 I don’t find it helpful at all.\u00a0 It undermines the credibility of real estate professionals to simple mind numbing “it’s time to buy” repeated over and over.\u00a0 That’s the kind of help I can do without.\u00a0 While my crystal ball on the future is no better than anyone else’s, I just want to be there help my clients and friends through actions that Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
