Energizer Bunny Arrested for Beating Buyers Over the Head

September 13th, 2007 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Market Performance Updates

You gotta tell them, and tell them, and tell them...

The Sgt. Should Never Have Mentioned Real Estate

“So why did you do it,” Sgt. Fleagle bellowed from the police desk at the pink rabbit that stood before him defiantly. “Do what?”, retorted the rabbit incredulously.

“Commit assault and battery on those Buyers,” Fleagle growled past his grimaced teeth. “It was assault with a battery,” said the rabbit insolently.

“Listen here, you over energized sunburned cottontail, this isn’t the first time you’ve been in here for beating buyers over the head!”, the police sergeant demanded, “we’re going to throw the book at you this time!” “It was justifiable,” affirmed the rabbit.

“Explain that, you buck toothed rascal,” questioned the towering policeman, his muscular arms now akimbo. “I make a living beating on things,” said the rabbit eyeballing the base drum on the floor beside him, “and sometimes it takes drastic measures…”

“That doesn’t justify squat,” the sergeant said with postured authority. The pink rabbit reasoned, “You just keep telling them… and telling them… and telling them… and still they won’t listen!”

“Listen to what?”, questioned Fleagle. “Now is a good time to buy!”, affirmed the rabbit.

“What’s so good about it?”, the sergeant again commanded, his voice still threatening.

“Demand is the lowest we’ve seen in a decade. Prices have come down with it. Inventory is up. It takes a half year to get a home sold. And many sellers are anxious, nervous and eager. It’s a buyers market. The time is now! It’s a buyers market. The time is now! It’s a buyers market. The time is now!”, repeated the rabbit incessantly.
Fence sitting is for the birds.
“Stop repeating yourself, you irritating lagomorph” the sergeant interjected impatiently. “That’s what I do,” said the rabbit. “it’s a buyer’s market, the time is now!”

“Well, dimwit, that makes some sense,” deducted Fleagle, his voice, posture and his arms less threatening now. The rabbit continued, “It’s stupid for buyers to wait to buy until it’s a seller’s market again.”

Then the rabbit quickly added, “Fence sitting is for birds, not for people!”

“For a hyped up hare, you making even more sense, hare brain,” said Sgt. Fleagle, “so that’s why you keep hitting Buyers over the head?”

“Exactamundo Einstein,” replied the rabbit, “you gotta keep telling them… and telling them…”

“I know, I know… I get it,” exasperated the sergeant.

“You gotta wake them up, and save them from themselves. A battery upside the noggin every now and then is a good wake-up call. There are great buying opportunities everywhere. The best we’ve seen since the early ‘90’s,” the rabbit continued in marching band cadence.

Beat the drum loud enough and they will come. “You know of any of these great buying opportunities?”, Fleagle asked.

“Well I got a brother who’s a real estate sales bunny… ,” the rabbit said without missing a beat.

“Got a phone number?”, Fleagle asked as politely as a police sergeant can.

“Exactamundo,” said the rabbit smiling, as he handed Fleagle a business card.

Then inspecting the business card approvingly, Sergeant Fleagle commanded through only the slightest tell of a smile, “Now pick up your drum and beat it.”

The Emperor Wears No Clothes: How to Solve the Great Igloo Inventory Glut.

September 11th, 2007 categories: Lake Tahoe Real Estate

This is a story of the Emperor who wears no clothes. That would be the Emperor Penguin, of course, and they never wear clothes. Everybody knows that, but what we didn’t know until recently is they live in igloos.

They have found shelter from the Antarctic storms, igloo-living apparently for some time now, or at least long enough to create a cyclic igloo real estate market in the heart of Emperor Penguin Land. Seems that some igloos are nicer than others, and… well, you know, the ice is always whiter on the other side of the berg. And it seems that blue ice with an ocean view is the most sought after igloo of all. (Most, though, don’t have closets because, you know, they got no clothes.) Read the rest of this entry »

Real Estate Advertising in South Lake Tahoe: The Down and Dirty on the Effectiveness of Traditional Methods.

September 3rd, 2007 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Lake Tahoe Real Estate

Advertising is one slice of the overall Marketing Pie. This is the third post in a four-part series about real estate marketing and advertising. The first was about the inability for anyone to sell something that any market, and a housing market in particular, determines to be over priced. That’s especially true here in our South Lake Tahoe Market these days. We took a humorous look at this in our post about our failure to sell Crest toothpaste for $35 a tube.
