Something to Be Thankful for

I can tell that it is that time of year.  No, I’m not talking about the holidays.  I’m talking about the slower time of year in real estate (funny how quickly we forget, but this happens every year about this time) where deals are fewer and farther between AND they all seem to be complicated.  I talked with 4 different potential buyers last week that are nowhere close to qualifying for a mortgage at this point and three more that could qualify but aren’t looking to do anything for 4-5 months.  I talked with several different Realtors who all were bemoaning the fact that every client/deal they are working on right now has some type of problem.  It’s just that time of year.

On the bright side, especially when we take more of a higher level review of where we are each at individually, we have a tremendous amount to be thankful for.  With that in mind, I wanted to share a quick blog that I wrote for our Homes for Homes website about a trip I recently got to take where we were able to build a home for an impoverished family.  If nothing else, it helps put a lot of our current complications into proper perspective.
