Hi Buyers...... Feeling very thoughtful of late, more than usual. Perhaps it's because I am closing three escrows this week with three couples at very different stages in their lives. One couple has hit the big six-o and wanted their privacy back badly. Boomers they are and they have felt very shut out of the market for a long time. Now they have plans and they are so happy. Vegetable garden tops the list. Pets. Rescue of course. Tinkering in the garage for the very handy and creative man. A room for massage and acupuncture for the amazingly enlightened woman. A place to store their bikes. They looked at easily 100 homes.

I am fascinated by the differences in the current buying population. What makes one buyer fearless in stepping forward, bad news be damned, and write an offer? What makes another unsure of what to do? Enthralled with low-balling, not responding to counter offers? My instinct tells me it's all about information, my favorite platform for all things good! But I'm not really sure that's the case. I think all of us are afraid we are going to miss something great. Like a great sale on July 4th with coupons everywhere for an extra 30% off of prices alreay slashed! Unfortunately you already purchased the item advertised when it was "on sale" last month and all sales are final! No price adjustments.
