Same here, Guy. ABSOLUTELY A BUYER'S DELIGHT! We're offering FRONT FEES WAIVED and still ... phones are dead. Well, not dead but wheezing! It's the media all over the nation. You're in real estate so you are the enemy. First it was the housing bubble then it was the mortgage implosion. Nevertheless I'll likely still be funding loans and closing deals when many journalists have admitted they were always writing fiction so they may as well write movies. 

Wow, lgad to say I can't agree with Ken Cook. I dont' know about you Guy, but I've been quite busy! Many of my buyers have seemed to come out of the woodwork these past two weeks. It looks like my 4th quarter is going to be even bigger then my 3rd quarter. What about you?

Glad for you Mindy - very much so! We're experiencing a lull here in Atlanta although during the last week volume is up. When people from other parts of the nation were closing we were still at full volume. Unfortunately all of the media here is very negative on real estate ... funny thing since even with the bad news prices are holding fairly steady. When people begin to understand that what the media calls foreclosure and what actually forecloses are sometimes worlds apart this will be a better place ;) When the media says foreclosure everyone assumes eviction and loss of house - not so. When the media says foreclosure they mean delinquent. Many properties that enter foreclosure never are lost. I have an acquaintance who has been in foreclosure multiple times (like 12 or 15) and recovered each time.

Along with the abundance of property in Madison there are also many fantastic mortgage opportunities for both first timers and move ups. 

People that are in the market for appreciation would be glad to know our median home price in Dane county has gone up every year since 1997.

Thanks for your all of you comments,  Mindy, I didn't necessarily say I was slow.  This was a piece to get others off the fence and increase traffic.  BTW, it was good to do calls with you today. 

Mindy, there are offices where they are very worried and slow.  I am glad you did not get that memo.   

I blogged about the market stats last week.  In out team meeting, we learnt that the actual price of a home did go up(all be it just 0.1%).  year on year to August.  This coincides with my comments on the stats.

Well I must have been in a lull, because I was jolted out of it with 2 offers this weekend.

plus action on other listings.  All of a sudden, I have to get more listings!!!!
