Writer’s / Realtor’s Block?

Posted by Purva Brown on August 21st, 2007

Maybe it’s because I’m showing too many houses in the evenings, returning home about 8 or 9 everyday. It’s hard to think like a writer when you’re thinking like a Realtor all the time. Oh, just kidding.

I had the wonderful experience of driving home with the sun setting behind the hills and the pines yesterday. And although John has not been bullish on the market in his previous posts, I am definitely beginning to see more activity in terms of people beginning to look for a home. The problem comes in when they have to sell a house to buy another one. Which is why the market is seeing first-time buyers for now.

Here’s the pattern: first come the first-time buyers, then the move-up buyers and then the investors.

You would think it would be the long term investors jumping in first.
