Tides of Change

Lately I have been swamped with new business. Every time I turn around I meet someone new or get an email from someone ready to start looking to buy or needing to sell.
As the summer months are upon us, it's not a wonder things are a little more crazy in this business but it's also a strange time we are in.
With the unemployment rate in Oregon looming around 12-13%, the local economists are stating we will see a turn around as early as 2010.
A new forecast from Moody's economy.com claims Oregon will lead the pack in the top 5 states of getting out of this recession.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30991972/.
It appears the growing consensus is that we are about to see another tide of change in the market. Should we be so optimistic in light of the positivity? I think a bit more time will tell.
In the meantime I stay busy helping those who always need to buy and sell and then the unfortunate seller.
I have seen some stabilization in the real estate market lately, as if we are bumping along the bottom. Hopefully this tide will change for the better!
