News since our last blog

A lot of interesting things have happened since our last blog. First the Fed has dropped interest rates by 3/4% which is great, this can be good news for the pending spring market. President Bush has decided to give most tax payers $600 for singles and $1200 for couples to help stimulate the lagging economy. We heard a great quote from Donald Trump who said "people will spend by buying products from China" (which by the way flood our stores and markets. ) and this will surely help the foreign markets and not really ours. It sounds like it won't be coming until May or June which makes us wonder if it will be too little too late.
Well despite what people say about the economy and market, we know that Re/Max Prestige has grown by leaps and bounds and we continue growing and selling Real Estate at a high rate.
In closing we just want to wish the New England Patriots good luck this coming Sunday (we know they will not need it but never the less). Re/Max is a proud partner of the New England Patriots as well as the Boston Celtics! GO PATS!!

Don't Believe The Hype

We are just wondering if everybody is sick of hearing about politics and the bad real estate market by the media as we are? We say to the NEH-Sayer's --- Put A Sock In It! Maybe if they didn't put such a bleak spin on the market it might have a chance. Why not talk about the opportunities for first time home buyers and people who may now be in a more comfortable price range since the prices of homes are at such an all time low. Interest rates are great. Prices are great for buyers but the fear factor that people are bombarded with does not help.
Personally, we are expecting to have a very busy spring market. We have taken these last two months to expand on all our marketing ideas. We doubled our holiday "pop-bys" this year and have kept up with our monthly newsletter. We are thrilled that Stacey & Andy (Re/Max Prestige's owners) have added so many new Realtors and new offices and we feel that such a great Re/Max presence will only be beneficial to us all. We say Kudo's to them both. Eight offices and 117 Realtors and counting. And we are lucky enough to be two of them. That is exactly what we are blogging about. In a time where all you hear is negative Real Estate news our office has expanded greatly and continues to do so! Like our Broker always tells us : "You don't dress according to the National Weather so why go by the National Real Estate Market" just because the market is not good in California doesn't mean the market is terrible here.

Tune in Next Monday for the 411 on the market...same time, same place.
