Yes, that's right. I said it's a great day in Phoenix Real Estate. I'm not crazy. I know about the doom and gloom you hear on the news but there are stories that you don't hear too. How about a single mom with four kids who is able to take advantage of the market correction and buy her first home. A five bedroom, three bath beauty that she can be proud of. Where her family can be safe and happy.
I know there are a lot of people who are being hurt by this market, and it breaks my heart to hear their stories. But like any tragedy people can survive, and even thrive. And out of tragedy can come great things. My hope is that we will all remember that the things that really matter, our families, our friends, can't be foreclosed on.
As a Realtor, I see both the good and the bad sides of The Phoenix Real Estate Market every day. I see prices actually increasing in a few areas. While prices are slashed in Goodyear, Tolleson, Surprise and other former boom areas. And even though this is my business, I try not to to lose sight of the impact it has on peoples lives.
If you are someone who has lost or is losing your home. I grieve with you. My hope is that you can see past this. Be confident that you can recover. Keep your family and friends close. Make a new home wherever life leads you and don't give up on the American Dream.
If you are someone who has always wanted a home but didn't think you could afford one. Now's the time. Don't feel that you're taking advantage of someone elses misfortune. You didn't create this market any more than they did. But opportunities can be fleeting. I don't know how long this will last but I do know it won't last forever.
And that's what we should all remember. This won't last forever.
