Yes, Yes, I know, there’s some line out there about #3 is the second loser, or something like that………However, I’d point out that Copper West has been running full time in our new location for only a year, with three Brokers. We have the highest average sale and listing price too.

Our new addition to the team of Carmen, and Judy bodes well, as does our increasing reputation. All in all, a great Summer. The Flux of Fall should be a very, very, interesting time………….

The Market is still in hold. Lots of Buyers, (Real ones) lots of price reductions, lot and lots of mindset shift required. Soon the Buyers will breakout, but the advantage is still tipped towards the buyers, even in a multiple offer situation, mostly because the Sellers can no longer name their price and terms. A “caution discount” is being levied.

I was talking to another Broker yesterday and the comment was made…….”Most of these agents have never seen a market that goes down, or a price that stays flat!”

I agree……….Time for real advice and measured analysis, not hyperbole.
