This week's economic numbers can be looked at two ways....either our economy is half full or half empty. New home sales showed a surprising increase in sales for the month of September (could it have anything to do with the builder incentives?) and resale home prices may have stabilized and even improved in some areas. Tech stocks are doing great with Microsoft, Apple, Google and Intel leading the way. Airline stocks, after years of being beat up, are showing profits including our homie U.S. Airways. Las Vegas is at 95% capacity and the resort and entertainment industry is going strong. More Europeans and Canadians have visited our country this year than ever before. We are still out shopping, traveling, spending, going to movies, buying electronics, video games, DVD's, eating out, living our lives, looking at houses (some of us even buying). And we live in one of most beautiful and economically sound states in the union.
FYI: Interest Rates are awesome! And if the Feds drop the Fed rate next week, adjustable rate mortgages, along with the 30 year fixed will give buyers more financing options.

?? Mystery Person ?? - Not sure who you are, yes I agree. There are several factors including upgrade incentives from the builders for sure!! Looking at a glass half full! Thanks for stopping by!
The cup is 1/2 full and I expect more to be added! That is the way I look at things, always expecting more and better.
Griff - Well-- I for one am thinking that I will believe this is a great time for buyers! Best ever! I think we need to as Professionals change the perception of the consumers and educate them that buying now is a great time, oppose to later!
Cynthia - I agree with you!
Faina - Yes, I agree! As professionals, it is our responsibility to help them see the glass half full and not buy into the negatives and the media!
