Here’s what you, as Realtors® in Washington County and throughout Utah and the USA should be saying to everyone you talk to: There is NO Better Time to BUY…… It is Not Just Pricing that is the logic here, but the deeper reasoning, such as the feeling that your children get when they ‘come home’ (like you did when you were young….); the pride in a neighborhood of Home Owners, not home-renters; or, do you want to change the landscaping????....go ahead; and more ‘feelings’ just like it. If you own or have ever owned a home, you know the feeling; sell that feeling!
Here’s another few facts that you can quote. Lawrence Yun, NAR’s Chief Economist wrote: Government data show that home owners already pay 80–90 percent of the income tax in the United States, and almost two-thirds of those who take the deduction are middle-income earners. Our economy NEEDS homeowners.
We were able to participate in a multitude of meetings that helped decide the ongoing growth of the NAR and the Realtor Professionals that make it up. Realtors® are now about 1,100,000 strong and on a growth curve, not a decline. Not all areas of the nation are the same in regards to value and unit sales; we were in that top tier of growth in the boom, we are still in that same category in the bust, but we all know that we are pulling out of that slump. We see new homes being built; we see our sales boards fill up with new sales….yes, the values are lower, but the unit sales are strong. Keep up the good work.
In future updates I’ll touch on some other areas of the meetings that might interest you…. for now….. keep up the positive attitude; it’s showing!
