By some strange stroke of luck when we returned from our week in steamy Pensacola, FL the humidity in Nashville seemed to have vacated the premises . . . The nights feel a lot cooler, and it is TOTALLY perfect weather for being outdoors. Today, we decided to go for a swim at the YMCA . . . The water was COLD . . . and the air was cool and breezy even though the ambient temperature was reading @ 94 Degrees.
This clearly is my favorite weather. We know that this could very well be (most certainly is) an "Indian Fall" meaning that the heat and humidity will likely return with a vengeance soon . . . so we know to squeeze every drop of enjoyment out of it.
I'll never forget hearing Gary Keller (a year ago) the visionary leader of Keller Williams Realty talking about the "Market shift" that was happening with ferocity in many parts of the nation. He was emphatic about the importance of guarding your mindset and continuing to do the right things . . . Take action and continue doing the fundamental business practices that lead to business success . . . His wisdom was that the market conditions are simply like the weather. It'll hit some areas and miss others . . . and when it's stormin' you've gotta take cover and continue on.
For Buyers and Sellers of homes, these have been confusing times at best. The media has very intently and consistently been singing the mantra that the sky IS, in fact, falling. This is pure doom and gloom media hype.
Here in Nashville, the weather hasn't been so bad. In Our office in Green Hills, our associates have really buckled down and studied the market conditions carefully. We have been coaching and consulting and training every single person every single day . . . We are following Gary Keller's direction . . . There is NO way this "bad weather" is going spoil OUR party or the party of our clients.
And guess what?
Our numbers are showing . . . PROFIT EVERY MONTH for the office . . . and we are NOT going to relax until the storm passes.
SO . . . If you are not . . . we DO wish you were here. We're seeing Buyers getting great deals and many Sellers walking away from closings with smiles on their faces. Our values have not declined significantly and most folks can gain on their purchase any percieved loss they had on their sale . . . This is actually creating a scenario in which many people can "move up" when in "better" (appreciating) markets they could not see a way.
If you're considering a move in and around Nashville, give us a shout. We're friendly folks and darn good at what we do . . . and without question, we have the BEST team assembled to be the ultimate resource for you . . . Our relocation expertise and connections are WOWING everyone who moves with us. The Owen Group and Keller Williams Realty Green Hills ROCK!
Best,
