Tunnel Vision

At certain times tunnel vision is a good thing.

Somethings are just hard.

I’ve made it through some tough situations with this one strategy: looking only a few steps, tasks, or minutes ahead.

“Doing the next right thing.”

Success

Success often hinges on the ability to quickly adjust to change. The top 1% follow a model:

Being open to change; when plans or situations change, step back and look at ways to adapt and adjust.

Reframing difficult situations, to see them as opportunities to learn and grow rather than simply as obstacles.

Persistence And Alignment

Persistence

If what you’re doing aligns with what you believe in, plus your definition of success, you must persist without exception. Find a way when it appears there is no way. If what you’re doing does not align with what you believe in, plus your definition of success, then it’s time to make a change.

By design or by default

The Law Of Nature

The law of nature is, do the thing, and you shall have the power: but they who do not the thing have not the power.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

The winners are the doers, and they detour from the scenic route of getting nowhere.

Do the thing!

What’s Happening In The Real Estate Market?

For my real estate friends and consumer friends, here are a few updates on the real estate market.

First, these are National stats, and as we know, real estate is hyper-local. You can check out your local zip code on this link.

In most US markets, we are still in a seller’s market… with a supply-constrained market and mortgage rates dropping below an infliction point, the spring market will be rewarding for sellers and frustrating for many buyers unless you are going into a new home build.

The challenge: inventory! There is NO indication on a National basis of any significant decline in prices. (hyper-local market exceptions occur)

Home Price Appreciation leveling out according to Case-Schiller and FHFA Top 20 Markets. Markets like Atlanta; Boston, Charlotte, and Chicago seeing solid appreciation. While markets like Seattle; San Francisco, San Diego, and Portland are creating price opportunities.

Cliff notes? We are seeing the lowest percentage of new listings on the market with a price reduction than we’ve seen for some time. Home buyers are buying at these prices. This is a supply-constrained market. Homeowners, in general, are simply unwilling to sell at all. New home builders are gaining a bigger share of housing units sold.

Check out a few of the charts below. Helpful?

Always a DM away. If you need hyper-local agents, I know one in just about every major market across the Americas, Europe, Australia, and the Philippines.
