Milk & Bread!!!



Let it snow, let it snow! Well with the approach of wintery weather.........Do we all have our milk and bread? Somehow that has become the staple of a good winter storm. We can survive without anything else....but milk and bread...that's a must, it will get us through anything!




As it approaches I have thought about going to the grocery store but I have chosen to not to. I don't want to wait in the traffic line trying to turn into the grocery store....little long the line inside the store, plus the fact... there is probably no milk or bread left to be had....then where would I be but irritated. Instead I think I will choose to take my computer home, some paperwork and prepare to spend tomorrow at home working if the weather calls for it! Sometimes those are the most productive and creative days anyway! With our computers and cell phones we can practically work from anywhere and get it all done.........sometimes even more with the peace and quiet of a good winters day!




Wishng everyone the joy of a beautiful snowflake!

Housing Market Facts

What are the Housing Market Facts ? So many things going on in the market. There is not one blanket statement about real estate that covers the entire nation, each market segment has it's on story! Some are dropping.... some are still rising .... and some are holding steady! It's not a cookie cutter world. Go Figure!

The National Association of Realtors has heard the worries of people across the nation and want to make available the tools for everyone to see the facts in the world of real estate. The new website HousingMarketFacts.com provided by the National Association of Realtors is an informative tool available to all.

HAPPINESS!

Have you ever thought of what is it that really makes us happy??? Is it the Love of Christ, our job, money, friends, family, material things? For most of us it is a combination of things that make us happy. For those of you who are still searching for happiness you might want to look just one county over. It was announced on 20/20 Friday night that the happiest city in the United States of America is ASHEVILLE, NC!!! Amazing Huh! I guess you can get everything in Asheville. :)

Have a Happy Day! :)

CHANGE!

Oh that seems to be the operative word everywhere these days: CHANGE!

Today is day 2 and I think we will all grow and change a little each day....that's life's beauty. Changing doesn't mean going backward.... it is going forward (So I won't wipe out yesterday's posting...ha ha) I will just move forward and build and improve each day

What kind of things do you think needs to change? Is change ever simple? Is it necessary?

Today it is raining, at times it is pouring........but I wouldn't change that at all, that's like liquid gold for our area which has suffered one of the worst droughts in decades. Today is a gift! Our soaked hair, wet clothes and damp papers (which you can never keep dry no matter how hard you try) may give the appearance that it's a damper of a day --- maybe you think, hmmm in the real estate business you must take those days off.... but no, there's still work to do & homes and land are there to buy or sell whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring down -- everyone is still looking for their spot to call their own or needing to list their home and relocate. Sometimes with the level playing field that today's technologies have moved to you can do it all without much concern about what the weather holds!

Oh look, technology, another thing to be thankful for! :)

Our profession has seen many changes over the years and the real estate market has rode it's ups and downs, though it is and always will be (no matter what the ups and downs are) one of the strongest and greatest markets because one of the strongest & most primary needs of us all is a place to call HOME!
