But, from your comment I can tell you didn't get my drift. I'll do my best to clarify this in tomorrow's post. I can tell you this, I wasn't writing about real estate. Posts placed in the Tucson Living category are just that, about living in Tucson and life observations. This was not intended to be a Real Estate related post. Have a Great evening, check back tomorrow. Dave Frank,

Thanks for your comment. But, from your comment I can tell you didn’t get my drift. I’ll do my best to clarify this in tomorrow’s post. I can tell you this, I wasn’t writing about real estate.

Have a Great evening, check back tomorrow.

However, sometimes--like now--it is just a very good time to sit back and try to relax and see where things are headed. I am very sorry that you and many others are in an industry that is currently in a severe slump, but it is not our responsibility to buy (or try to sell) homes in this environment. While there may never be the perfect time to sell or buy a home there is also a time not to consider it. And we are in those times. I know you in the RE industry can only make a living if people buy and sell real estate, but now is NOT a good time to buy. Unfortunately for your industry the majority of us understand that if there ever is a bounce upward that it will be a long time in coming. Your industry has cried wolf too many times and we just ain't buying any longer ("this is the bottom", "now is the time to buy", "buy or be priced out", "you need the tax deduction", "real estate always goes up", "people from other parts of the country or world will buy"). The platitudes are no longer effective! Dave, I certainly get your drift. However, sometimes–like now–it is just a very good time to sit back and try to relax and see where things are headed.

Your industry has cried wolf too many times and we just ain’t buying any longer (“this is the bottom”, “now is the time to buy”, “buy or be priced out”, “you need the tax deduction”, “real estate always goes up”, “people from other parts of the country or world will buy”). The platitudes are no longer effective!
