Still Waiting, No Offers
Although many sellers approach the housing market as if it is as hot as 2023 or early spring of this year, they quickly realize that it is not instant. A surprising 54% of the active inventory has been on the market for at least a month.
For anyone going fishing for the first time, especially kids, there is a great deal of enthusiasm and wild expectations of reeling in a bucket full of fish. Upon arriving at the fishing hole and baiting the hook, it is time to fish. The line is cast out into the open water with a cheerful eagerness. The bobber floats in the water and only moves with the water current and does not bob, revealing that there is no fish on the line. The excitement drifts away as 20, 40, and 60 minutes pass, but still no fish. It seems as though time stops.
Sometimes, the fishing is excellent, and the bucket is filled with fish. There are other days when, after fishing for hours, only one is reeled onto the dock. And there are days when nothing is caught, not even a nibble, after trying every type of bait. A large part of fishing is seeing what others successfully use for bait and packing plenty of patience.
