What's There To Be Thankful Of?

As we go officially go into the holiday season (ignoring holiday creep: Halloween), this has been a tumultuous year for many, but do we have things to be thankful for?

Family and friends come first, off course, but then comes business. Can money buy you happiness? It can’t really, but it can buy you a boat big enough to sail right up to happiness and wave hello with a margarita in your other hand.

Interest rates look like they’re going to remain low for the next few months and there are tax credits to be had. In my market: inventory is the lowest it’s been in four years, prices have stabilized (and even increased over last year in some cases), and there are more homes sold than last year. All this and the spring market is ahead of us.

If you’re considering selling you may have less to be thankful for than you wish, but you have much more to be thankful for than you might be giving credit for (read some of my previous posts on that one; you’re probably still way ahead of the game).

If you’re considering buying, these are unprecedented times and you’ve never had as much to be thankful for.

Nurture your family, celebrate your friends, don’t buy into the tryptophan myth (you don’t eat enough turkey to feel it; maybe it’s the wine). The next month is about focus. Focus on your circle of family and friends first, focus on what you want the coming year to be, then break it down into bite sized chunks so you get there.

Happy Thanksgiving to most, happy Tofurkey to some.
