You've heard it before but you don't trust anyone right now. Why should you? Everybody claims to be an expert. Is there an expert, anywhere? Whom do you trust? How about trusting yourself. Everything you have ever learned hasn't just flown out the window because the market took a dive. Your native intelligence and instincts are just as acute as they ever were. Perhaps you've chosen to dial everything down because everyone is telling you that that's the proper action to take. But you're beginning to hear rumors about . . . home fire sales. Auctions. Homes being sold at bargain basement prices. Prices not seen in years for homes previously out of your price range in subdivisions you could only dream about. Uhmmm. That couldn't be true. Could it? It's more true now than at any time during the last ten years. Right now, everybody is crying about the economy. The stock market is down The economy is in a tailspin The sky is falling? What you're not being told is that, while all that may be true for a time, it won't last forever . . . Nothing lasts forever. Not good times. Not bad. When the dust settles; the stock market is back in comfortable range; and banks have consolidated and become strong enough to again start offering a 4% interest rate on their CDs-- If you haven't already purchased your home by then, you've missed the boat. |
