Straight Talk

[Capricious]

Here is an example of "straight talk."

Tell it like it is.

"..You may wonder why are prices are so low. The reason is simple, there is a glut of new condos on the market..."


Why can't we get that out of the "professionals?"

 

[JoshMclean]

What do you mean you can't get it out of the professionals? Obviously the inventory plays a key role in declining prices. I think any professional would tell you that.

Dont know who you talk with but I am a no frills, to the point, non sugar coated Realtor. Tell the truth, that's what my mama taught me..;-)

If you are talking about rental companies not lowering their prices then I dont know. Maybe they know something I (and everyone else) doesnt. I have seen some rental companies offering some good specials this Fall.....

Both professionals and the man on the street will tell you an inventory glut is a major contributing factor.

As far as this person's "straight talk", it's all dependent upon your personal interest - they are renting a unit and using the "glut" to justify their pricing so you don't think it's cheap because it's a POS.

"Straight Talk" ala The St Pete Times:


"Tampa Bay area home sales keep probing new bottoms. September's totals were off 39 percent from the none-too-spectacular sales of September 2006.

That part about probing bottoms sounds proctological, but the market is about as savory as a barium shake. "

Of the responses:

(2) "real estate proffesionals" did NOT use the word "glut."

(1) "man on the street" did use the word "glut"


Come on, guys: the cat is out of the bag.

It's a GLUT

Expand your vocabulary

"...Great response. ..."


Thanks.

I make an effort to be entertaining.

You know, about (2) weeks ago I signed a
one year buyers agent agreement with an agent, which
replaced an expired one buyers agent agreement
I had with her.

I have purchased property through her before but not
since 2004. She is located in a area a couple hundred
miles from where I live so I can't really watch the market in
that area. She knows what I am looking for if and if something
hits the market I get notified

I can count on getting the straight story from her.

Here, I post a simple request for Bobby J to provide a
few more details on a property he/she brought up, and I
get nothing but grief.

And I see where PAG is a bit slow in providing answers to
questions as well.

Oh, well, I'm just the little guy.

For now
