Inventory Levels

Hello all.

"Inventory Levels"

As always we need to keep an eye on the trends in the market. Wanted to make sure everyone knew that inventory levels have been rising steadily the last 30 days or so. We are at the same levels in the offices that we were in April. The difference being that there are not as many buyers out right now as there was in the spring so... days on market is increasing, more competition for your sellers and basic supply and demand will affect pricing. Very important to keep your sellers and buyers in the loop to market conditions so they can properly adjust. Hoping for a different outcome but the same thing happened this time last year and we limped to the 2014 finish line. Still plenty of business to be had and those who work the hardest will prosper. 

Enjoy the coffee,

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

 

"When people are highly motivated, it's easy to accomplish the impossible. And when they're not, it's impossible to accomplish the easy."

 

~ Bob Collings (Cited in BITS & PIECES)
 

 

ASK "WHY?"

 

Beginning in the late '60s, a revolution of sorts began in this country. It was a revolution that was irreverent at times, almost always anti-establishment, and it turned many traditional social customs upside-down.

 

How did it begin? The young, many of college-student age, began to ask WHY? They challenged everything by asking a simple question - WHY? Why must it be so? Why is this or that the "right" way? Why can't I try a new approach? Everything that had been taken for granted by the establishment up to that time was up for grabs.

 

Voila! The country changed and will never be the same. Was the change all for the good? Hardly. Families suffered. The security blanket of social customs was yanked away. Collectively, we had to find a new direction, new meaning, for our lives. Was it worth two decades of turmoil? So it would seem.

 

Today's young families seem to be returning to principle-centered living. They are more sophisticated. They understand and adopt good personal money-management philosophies, and they still ask "why?"

 

The "why" of today, however, is more constructive. It has led to astounding advances in technology. When you ask a "why" today, you can locate the answer in minutes via the Internet. Audio books, motivational tapes, and "online" educational courses make it possible to become enlightened without the need for social revolution.

 

What about you? Are you asking "WHY?" often enough? Today, the world is yours if you know how to ask the right questions! The "ask why" generation's gift to all of us was the freedom to question and learn, guilt-free. Want to grow as a person? Start asking "WHY?"!
