I think the entry has honesty not seen enough in the real estate profession. Of course Austin prices are dropping some right now, and yet there are many who deny this. I have been in Austin many years and have heard this one many times: "But Austin is different than the rest of the country". Yes we are different, but we are not an economic island.

What acres of diamonds are you sitting on at work or at home you might already have and are venturing off to find through your travels? Also, a good thing to think about is nurture those diamonds the right way to make it seem relationship first, business second. That is what I as a salesmen is struggling with. Treating customers like friends and giving advice about my company "if it makes sense". I look forward to the next post. Great post.

I don't know the demographics, but that should provide a lot of buyers once the lending becomes more available. Meanwhile, it looks like a good time to buy. As far as selling goes, I believe it's always a good time to sell as long as you do something smart with the money. I understand 60,000+ people move to Austin each year.
