Unless you've aligned yourself with the ultra-extremist, you know the housing market will soon take an upward turn. There's no way to predict exactly when that will happen, there are too many things that can and will affect how and when it will re-emerge. But you know that it will and the more energized and optimistic you are about its return, the more successful you'll be both while you're waiting and when it does return. As Dianna Brouthers said at a recent training, "the market is what it is and you cant wish it into anything different". So look for the opportunities that exist or can be created now and you'll be positioned perfectly out ahead of the pack to land some great deals when the market takes a quick drastic turn for the better. Do you have a better option?
