Most people look for information about Real Estate online from Real Estate sales sites. Big Real Estate companies put home searches on line so you can “shop.” Those sites also provide a forum for people to discuss the Real Estate market.
The internet is filled with opinions, this blog has my opinion. Another site that had an opinion was called Housing Panic which closed a couple of years ago after the housing market crash. The writer predicted the crash and followed the demise. He has a new blog called Soot and Ashes.
In an interesting twist last month the author return to the site, that now sits idle, with a prediction. He says now is the time to buy Real Estate http://housingpanic.blogspot.com/
He doesn’t really present a compelling reason, he’s simply saying to buy. In my opinion he is presenting a view point I had when I set up this blog. The Real Estate market declined sharply so that there is a panic about owning property.
I just thought it was interesting that his opinion would come out at the end of last year, and will follow what he has to say. My conclusions may be different, but the idea is still the same. You can buy now, buy well, if you make a solid financial decision.
About David Losh
In 1984 I got my Real Estate license and worked in a small company called Advance Properties. The owner was extremely interested in Real Estate, building, and land development. Most of his work was concentrated North of Seattle. Since the 1970s I had worked for Real Estate agents in Seattle as a contractor, mostly preparing properties for rent, and sale.
After a few years my skill level increased considerably concerning land use, building code, and development practices. Escrow, and lending offices were housed at the Advance Properties building so it was easy to get involved in all aspects of Real Estate. It was very much a family owned, and operated business.
Over the years my Real Estate license has been at a variety of Real Estate companies, and offices. Nothing compares to those early years, or that sense of family. Real Estate has gotten to be corporate owned.
My hope with this blog is to share with you some of the things I've learned. If you have Real Estate needs, or want contractor help, I refer freely to what best suits you. If you should choose to work with me you'll find a great resource.
My Real Estate license is at Skyline Properties in Northgate. Skyline is a locally owned company that is a desk fee office. There is a wide variety of diverse agents. It helps me with some of the other projects that I have, and mentoring that I do, to be able to work with people from other cultures.
Here in Seattle we are close to Vancouver BC and are the gateway to China. Boeing has a great trade relationship with China, as does Microsoft have with all of Asia. We are a culturally diverse community, and it helps me to be invlolved.
