Buying into the FEAR?




We all witnessed changes in the stock market and the economy last week that were unprecedented. Historically with the stock market, anytime there has been a recession and a drop in the market of 15% of more (we have dropped over 20), there has ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS been a period of growth and price appreciation to follow. What we have here is a tremendous buying opportunity. Or are you buying into the fear and sitting on the sidelines? I'd recommend that you don't. Worried that the market will go down further? What if it doesn't? Will you have any regrets? If you buy stocks anytime soon, there is great opportunity for prices to appreciate. If you sit and wait you will miss it and have only small gains. It's no different with the housing market. Housing prices won't go up 5% overnight like they can in the stock market, but over time they will stabilize and grow again, like they have 95% of the time in history. We are certainly at the bottom of the range and you simply can't lose by buying real estate now! It never seems like the right time to buy when there is fear, but that is always exactly the time you SHOULD be buying. If you look back, you will see that the window of opportunity is now, for both stocks AND houses!

The fixes on Wall Street won't fix the housing market unfortunately. It may help to fund more mortgages, which is good. What we need are lower interest rates, or some kind of added incentive to get buyers off the fence and away from the FEAR! Real estate in Parker Colorado is a great buy right now, and everywhere else in Douglas County. Get off that fence!
