Market update for 2007

OK -The market is what we would call Sales Challenged. Face it, people are a little concerned about falling prices, too much inventory and the like. With every cloud there is still a silver lining.

This is a great time to buy! Thinking of investing in Real Estate? Do it in a down market. Why buy when the market is hot; you are sure to loose at least a little when it corrects. Buy when the market is down, sellers are willing to entertain any reasonable offer. Builders are dropping prices like crazy just trying to liquidate their inventory.

What about Sellers; well homes are still being sold. Believe it or not there are buyers out there! You simply have to be ahead of the buying curve. What I mean is that everything you do must be done in a way that is geared to making the sale.

Advertising, Technology, Commissions, and of course the Price has to be done with the sale in mind. Gone are the days of just putting your home up for sale at just about any price and having sellers beat down your door. If you want to sell your home it can be done in a relatively short period of time. I have sold homes in 3 days in this market and done so without giving away the farm.

You do need a Realtor that understands the issues and how to deal with them. More on that later. I welcome input from any realtor in any area to join in on this discussion as well as customers that may have questions.-Steve

Hello Steve,
I just typed in my name Steve Emery on Google and your website was the first to come up. I was in Coeur d'Alene in 2001 I think it was and fell in love with the area. I think it is one of the most beautiful places I've seen and I have seen a lot of places across this country. You also have some beautiful properties listed, but I'm not looking for a home I'm interested in your blog.
Like you Steve I'm 45 pounds overweight, heading for diabetes
and I'm worried because I have heart problems as well. I'm 60 years of age.

I went to the site but found it confusing on the pricing. Is a 30 day supply really $399.00? I read the results of people that lost weight, but they all lost over 100 or more pounds. I want to loose 45. If you have some time Steve would you help me out on explaining what I need to buy to accomplish that? I would appreciate it. My email address is
tincan693@verizon.net
Thanks for your time,
Steven G. Emery
