You People are Insane!

This market we’re in is doing funny things to people.  There’s a certain happy hysteria spreading across the investment community, oodles of pent-up glee transparently cloaked behind predictions of gloom and doom.

Let’s face it, it’s fun to talk and it’s easy to get all worked up.  Especially when hysteria, panic, and fear abound.  They do have a way of spreading and taking on a communal spirit.

The real estate climate is what it is.  The bubble has clearly burst and the much anticipated ’crisis’ is here.  The truth is there is a huge upside to investors/buyers and, frankly, it’s pretty exciting to be able to get into some great deals right now.  There is also an unfortunate downside.  For every winner, there is surely at least one loser.  So keep the hysterics for fun and play.  Take a meditative approach to your investments, use good data and throw in a bit of pensiveness; reflecting on others who have been less fortunate.
