The GOOD News: We're busy....REALLY BUSY. The bad news: It's all about homes under $400K in our market right now and in many places in the U.S.A. there is a similar dichotomy. What ever may be considered to be the 'upper end' is still suffering in many places, not yet having seen the benefits of 5% +- interest rates and the first time home buyer credit. If President Obama gets his way and eliminates the mortgage exemption for people who make more than $200K, well don't get me started. Let me just say this....it will DRASTICALLY alter the housing market in America in virtually every price price point. Oh, yes, the other bad news at least for me.....my PC inhaled the VUNDO virus about 10 days ago and it killed EVERYTHING on my computer including my video software. There should be more fun filled commentary coming shortly via video on all things real estate but in the mean time I wanted to share an appearance by one of my favs, Gary Vaynerchuk from CNN in the last few days. If you're wondering why I have all of the social media connects along the left side of this web site, just spend a few minutes with @Garyvee and think about the applications to real estate....and your business. Here's a taste: I sold a home in February of this year DIRECTLY as a result of a post on Twitter. Wonder what it may do for you?

Is now a good time to sell? Does seasonality trump market conditions? What pitfalls should you be aware of when selling today? Greg's appearance on all things real estate from WISH TV, Indianapolis can be seen here:
(NOTE...a bit of insider television dirt....at the end of the piece both Greg and the anchor are changing where they look repeatedly. There were 3 computer controlled cameras moving about randomly in front of them and it was really tough to tell where the red light was bouncing to).
GOOD NEWS ALERT! CNN Money has released a national study of the top 100 housing markets and their projected status one year from today. Indianapolis actually ranks much better than the over whelming majority of the nation. You can see the entire study of those results HERE.

A weird open house moment....
The most profound moment at my open house last Sunday came when a prospective buyer shared with me one of the lone bright spots of the current downturn. She believes that we will all have to become better consumers when it came to our investments. Kudos Diane...VERY true. The weirdest moment? Well here you go..........
OT......there's a GREAT new tool out there for keeping track of just about anything from crime in your area to shopping, store deals, entertainment to a variety of news updates. It's FREE (nice) and you can also create your own search terms that can be updated and sent to you at http://www.trackle.com/. I'm getting ready to set up a search for where my 14 year old is after the movies on Friday and Saturday nights!

Real Estate transparency. I'm irritated. I'm annoyed. I'm spittin' like football coach Bill Cowher. Well, it's not quite that bad but I am on a Rant in Today's New World Of Real Estate. Transparency is not just a nice little trend....but a darn fine idea for the real estate industry and business as a whole. Problem is too many real estate companies are still living in 1978. They don't know it yet but they're about to become real estate road kill....and it's going to happen sooner rather than later. Here's why:
