Back with the Living

I have not updated my blog in weeks. Sorry about that. I have been out with a terrible flu bug which had me out for the count for several weeks. When you're self-employed though, there's no one to call in sick to and you basically have to keep working no matter what. I was forced, however, to take a couple of days to do nothing but recover because I had a temperature of 103.5 for two days. I've never had that happen so needless to say both Donna and I were a bit concerned. She took off work to nurse me back to health. I'm happy to report that I'm much better.

Anyway, lots of real estate matters to address. Hope you saw the Washington Post this past weekend. Very good articles about the market and what's going on. The one thing I didn't like though is that the Post didn't really point out how different the Washington area is from other parts of the country. What's happening here isn't reflected in the data that's collected in other parts of the country. One of the articles talked about the median price for the area. Here's a link if you didn't get a chance to see it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/24/AR2006032400844.html?sub=AR.

As I've said here before, the market is changing and as it changes everyone is trying to figure it out. We don't have crystal balls so no one can predict what will happen. What I tell all my clients is at the end of the day you want to feel good about your transaction. Think about what you consider a success and work toward that. Everyone wants to get the best price but these days it's more difficult to know what that is. If you want more real estate information go to my website at: www.angelajonesrealestate.com. I'll have more info for you Wednesday. Enjoy the rest of your day.
