Should I buy a house or not? Should I sell my property or not? These are the questions being asked and fairly so. In Buena Vista, the real estate market is slow and if picking up…not doing it very quickly. Everyone is waiting for the bounce back and I’m not sure there is going to be one.
I think we are where we are. This is it for now. Certainly sales will continue and even increase as the economy strengthens, but for now we need to think of current conditions as the new norm. Decisions that are made regarding real estate or any other matter should be made on the basis of how conditions are today…not what we expect. We are not going back to the old times or to any times…we are fundamentally changing the the way business works and the way customers and businesses interact.
It is universally time for change and here it is. That means we need to learn the new ways of doing business and it has started by a jump from the Internet, which worked well and we got used to , to the social media ideas of direct contact with minimal middle persons. The social media now is in the state home computers were in the late 70s. It will be a few years before we see the full impact of SM, but I’m betting it will take us to a place we have not thought of yet!
