My Take: Housing Isn't Getting Worse!

There is not a lot of time to think lately as it appears many of our "local" real estate markets are re-discovering two words - demand and supply.Yet, the majority of buyers still think it is 2011 and many of the seller are stuck in 2006. And given everyone is online, I am more in change reaction mode with barely a minute to focus on the present shift in play.

Now my new line when I find myself standing in line somewhere in Santa Fe for either groceries, gas, more file folders, maybe even ice cream is to say "housing isn't getting worse" when I'm asked about our market.

I find for some strange reason still beyond my comprehension, saying the word "worse" seems to begin a conversation.When I used to say "housing is getting better" - no one seemed to believe me. I've decided buyers and sellers and even those of us in the industry have been through so much trauma it does take time for people to see things differently. Hopefully, with my new line, people will realize that bouncing along on the bottom of the housing market is not so bad afterall in 2012. In fact, it is a real estate landscape filled with opportunities. And I’ve discovered our words can make a difference. My take is housing isn't getting worse. What is your take?
