I was just curious if others here have noticed a dramatic slow down in real estate in your local communities. I certainly have. Many of my clients who are selling their homes are telling me the traffic has nearly stopped. Agent friends are confirming this.
It is not the first slow market I've seen - I was in northern California / Bay Area in the 90s. THAT was ugly. I frankly thought the RE boom would soon fizzle out, but this slow down seems more abrupt than I expected. - at least locally. I thought my community may be insulated when it happens because of it being a moderatly affluent retirement community. It seems we are not so lucky. I am certainly glad I am not selling my home right now.
So is this confined to a local blip or are you also noticing this?
