I once heard an expression, and I will share it in a moment, however I want to share that the moment I heard it , I said a-ha. I could not agree with it more. Having experience in Real Estate since 2002, as a licensed agent but a deep interest for it since I can remember.
The one thing that does stand out is how frequent the industry does change, so when I heard the following statement on a T.V. commercial I was like holy guacamole they are 100% right.. Here it is .. “the only constant in Real Estate is change” ..
A-HA – Here we are again it is 2018 and things are shifting again, and have in 2015 and in 2009 and 2002 etc. etc.. However the majority of people only see consistency, the market only going up when in fact that is not the case. As a Real Estate professional and in the thick of things I feel it, I can see it shifting long before it actually happens or the majority of the people notice..as with many things in my life I have this ability to feel things in the air, to see things from a different lens and speak on it well before it happens, and no I am not a palm reader LOL however am fascinated by the way they pull that off.. but working in this Industry you sorta have to really be in tune, in tune with people, market trends and the shifts that are not trends, that happen in a subtle fashion. The statement is true, the only constant in Real Estate is change. Buyers govern the markets, if they cool down and invest in the stock market it drags down the Real Estate market, however the only thing that does not change in Real Estate, is the simple fact that it is recession proof, people because peoples lives are constantly moving it keeps sales active at all times. SO whether the market itself is up or down, there is business to be had, just shift with it.
For some agents shifting is very difficult they get stuck in a rut and complain all day, staying in low negative energy and thinking the market is going to come to a screeching halt when in fact it never ever does. So in hindsight the market is always changing from supply and demand to interest rates, to stock market shifts, money is a tool that needs to be working, earning and growing..so generally people will place it where they feel its working best for them 🙂 but some make very poor decisions.
We are in another shift, this shift has been happening slowly for the last year, year and half ..it is not reflective of a collapse, but simply a shift, a shift in absorption levels a shift in investment platforms and this gives a chance to everyone to sorta catch up, take a breath and realize that the time has come to get quiet and make better decisions.
In this moment of change – change with it, take a new approach to buying, selling or investing.
Just remember that Real Estate is by far one of the most stable and best investment platforms available to you, yes YOU – every single one of us.

I leave you with this thought WHY is it that wealthy individuals buy Real Estate? WHY is it that when asked if they have any regrets, the answer generally is yes, they should have bought more REAL ESTATE .. ??
