Phil, you will have to post good news twice. Bad news travels faster. And, some of us prefer to be bummed out. Not me :) grinning from ear to ear, thank you very much.

Oh ok more good news then twice

Preach brothers Phil and Vance.

We WILL survive!

Oh my God! You mean the end of the world is NOT near? What the hell am I going to do with this sign I have been toting around town to warn people with?

Not to throw any cold water on 1 months statistics but with new construction especially, it is important to look at several months and average the numbers. The trend remains down and challenging for builders and the mortgage issues aren't helping.

Having said all that, the world as we know it is not ending and our challenge is to do the very best we can every day to continue to build our business. When I'm asked how business is, I've been smiling and saying, "thankfully, a little better than the market".

I agree Happy Easter

Okay. So I am keeping the sign for three more months. I will change it to - The end is maybe near, maybe not, Be prepared to repent sometime in the next three months or so, I'll let you know when I get better signals. :)

Somehow that's not as catchy.

Hi Phil,

Not to throw cold water on hot news, but aren't they FSBO's mostly...

I'm happy for them, but it doesn't help our position as REALTORs

Anyways, HOORAY for selling houses!

I love good news! I don't know where the FSBO angle came from but I would have to see that substantiated to believe it!

FSBOs or not, the housing market is rallying. That's all we need to know or care about and it was bound to happen. More is on the way, I'm certain and I am feeling the exquisite exhaustion of an increasing workload. So keep that good news coming because we know what to do with it!

Phil we got good news in our area too:

This came from our in house mortgage broker.  

Good news!

This monthly sales inventory came in at 7.5 months, which is less than

last month's reading and well below the 8.3 level in march.

The median home price rose as well, up .06% year over year.

Overall, a pretty good housing report.

We are a bit down in number in Middle TN, but rallying!

Thanks for the positive reminder! I am with Candice, it will be ok!!
