Happy New Year
Kathy Riggs January 3rd, 2010
Nothing says the holidays are over any more than a plethora of commercials about miracle weight loss plans and new car deals. When the two dominate our television screens, we know it’s time to pack up the decorations and face the challenges of a new year.
Every new year can be greeted with hope or anxiety. Trust me if you face the new year with hope and humor, handling the anxiety will be much easier.
Another tradition to ring out the old and ring in the new is the making of lists…the 10 best news stories of the past year…the ten politicians, entertainers or business people to watch in the new year. You get the picture.
So here I’m offering the Top Ten Reasons to feel good about the real estate market in 2010… some are serious, and some are meant to be taken lightly. Enjoy and here’s to a great new year!
10. We’ve hit bottom, so there is no where to go but up.
9. New construction has been so weak, that maybe someone will look at your house…It’s only been on the market 999 days.
8. You may actually find a buyer that wants a “green” house..one which the interior still has the walls, ceiling and molding painted in 1960′s green.
7. Pink ceramic tile bathrooms are making a comeback.
6. You’ll be happy that your parents didn’t succumb to the trend of putting carpet over hardwood floors, now that you’ve inherited the house and are trying to sell it.
5. Appliances included means you get a cook and a maid.
4. The media may tell us some good news and you will not run for cover when they air a story about real estate.
3. Interest rates are still historically low.
2. The first time homebyer tax credit has been extended.
1. The government has decided to allow a tax credit for current homeowners.
Seriously, I hope everyone has a great 2010 and give me a call about numbers 3, 2 and 1 on the list!
