So I have taken an informal poll and most of the folks I have asked are glad 2009 is over. How about you? What will they have to say about 2008 & 2009 ten years from now when they write about the implosion of banks and financial fallout that took place in the following months? Stabilization has began and continued through the end of 2009, its been a crazy 18 months.... So, what has been learned? What questions should we be asking? What actions would be sound in 2010?

If you read or listen to the real estate experts, home prices are on the upswing in 2010 and prices are due to drop more. We are in for a double dip in real estate and we are in for a long slow recovery, in the housing market. If you have been thinking about buying or selling a home it is likely you have seen these stories. The funny thing about real estate is all of these scenarios are likely happen in 2010.

How can that be?

A mistake home buyers and sellers can make is listening to global advice or headlines in a highly localized market. The other is buying or selling for the wrong reasons. There are undoubtedly zip codes and neighborhoods that will go up in price this year, ones that will fall, ones that will stay the same and some that have been moving up that will fall back again.

It is possible that buying or selling in 2010 is not the right course of action. If it is the right decision, make sure you get the representation you deserve.

Have you seen the TV commercial that features people asking all kinds of questions at a restaurant to a waiter? Then they flash to the same person at a doctor's appointment and suddenly they cannot think of any questions.
