Realtors have about the same "good rate" as lawyers, in all probability. I'm a real fan of my own realtor, who displays none of the behaviors we read about. Realtors are salespeople and the words they use are sales words. <BR/><BR/>We bought last spring (I know, but monthly costs are equal to rent and we bought below market so we have a long way to go before the built-in equity were to vanish) and what I heard from my realtor at the time plus what the numbers themselves say is that it was fairly busy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113767199444444516.post-65117738431719336192008-04-12T08:03:00.000-07:002008-04-12T08:03:00.000-07:00The realtor comments sound duplicitous.

The realtors want you to assume they mean showings, contracts and closings, but since they don't say that explicitly, you don't know. They could have been busy with showings that led to nothing for all I know.If I remember correctly, last spring was sluggish for sales both in Portland (more so)nationally.

Her realtor called and said he was very concerned. Nothing was selling and foreclosures were increasing. <BR/><BR/>Last month Zillow listed 118 houses for sale in Sherwood. Today, 148. Talk about supply! But you need buyers to move things, and buyers are the one thing in short supply. <BR/><BR/>Great time to buy a house??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113767199444444516.post-43122722841676401712008-04-11T20:17:00.000-07:002008-04-11T20:17:00.000-07:00why talk out of one side of my mouth, when I can t...why talk out of one side of my mouth, when I can talk out of either? when i'm in a blog, i can write one thing. when i'm with a co-worker, i can say something else. it's a beautiful world.<BR/><BR/><BR/>eerrrrrrr, let me correct that,<BR/><BR/>IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BUY A HOUSE!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113767199444444516.post-61526738959796866722008-04-11T18:51:00.000-07:002008-04-11T18:51:00.000-07:00That article was really frustrating insomuch as th...That article was really frustrating insomuch as they were all speaking in doublespeak.
