Welcome to the New Year
With this new year we have opportunities to leave 2010 behind and build on any successes or challenges we faced in 2010. The way I approach ever new year or birthday is by telling myself
” Each year I am more stable and successful in my career, I have more balance with a growing family and feel more wise and in charge.” Maybe its naive of me to think this way as I am not approaching an momentous age milestone but I think its a blessing that we get another year and tomorrow to become better!
In real estate I always see a renewed sense of optimism among buyers and sellers in the first part of each year. I foresee consumer confidence continuing to build and our economy and markets starting to recover, grow and even stabilize. Although interest rates have raised a bit they are still at historical lows and probably will not go lower based on recent trends and movements by the feds.

Here is to a wonderful new year!
‘We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives… not looking for flaws, but for potential.’

Yun says home sales will return to more “normal” levels seen before the housing bubble even without federal homebuyer tax credits, which ended in April.
“A key test will be the winter months this year,” Yun said.
