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.

Yet the latest update to Bing is pretty killer. “AI will fundamentally change every software category, starting with the largest category of all – search,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. “

Inspiration drives us, whereas motivation is a pulling force.
Peak performers think of it this way: Inspiration is something that you feel on the inside, while motivation is something from the outside that compels you to take action. Both are key to achieving goals.
Inspired or motivated the research has shown that we’re more committed to our goals when we understand their importance, value, and attain ability.
You circumstances and “programming” create beliefs.
Beliefs create attitudes.
Attitudes create feelings.
Feelings determine action.
Actions create results.
Beneath every behavior is a feeling, And beneath every feeling is a need. And when we meet that need – rather than focus on the behavior – we begin to deal with the cause not the symptom.
