Waves
Today was a busy day. Real estate is an interesting job because things can go from zero to 300 in the blink of an eye. You can take steps to mitigate how much it happens, but in the end, the market is what the market is.
For instance, I spent the last couple of months mostly marketing and not selling anything. Being in a new community means we spend a lot of time getting the community off the ground. So, if you were to check in with me last month, I would have been a little annoyed and a lotta bored. However, if you checked in with me today, I would have been begging for a break. You see, it’s my day off. I had plans. I ended up selling two homes and that was pretty much my day. So…not much of a day off, but yay for sales and activity. I also sold two homes last weekend, so that’s four homes in four days.
Real estate is waves. You get high waves (2020-2021) and low waves (end of 2022), but the wave never lasts. You ride the highs and prep for the lows. It is not for everyone as you never really know when your next paycheck is coming. Stable just isn’t a thing in this line of work. Looks like we are entering a high wave so going to surf along and see what happens.
