Two things come to mind...
1) If i was going to court - I wouldnt have the prosecutor represent me AND the SOH...
Therefore I always suggest that you have a different agent...even if it looks like everythign will be simple. I have recommended friends to use Jdirgo even after they found their property and said "oh the seller's agent can handle it"... And who's interest are they repping? (by the way, John, she did have some issues that you could have made smoother but whatever!!)
2) We were just discussing the "boom/bust"... I, like aaron, have seen it come and go and come again here.... And it will affect everything. I remember the mass exodus and unemployment after the demise of sugar cane, and the decline in construction caused when Japanese /Gulf war started and money was pulled out of Hawaii.
What I observe is the "leading edge" of the boomers seem to decide the direction of the cycle... by having older parents that have left them inheritances that are worth many 100,000's of $$$ and being young enough to not worry as much about our health care here or too old to need to worry about kid's schools...
So kinda like when they decided the Summer of Love was cool... now they have decided the real estate market is crashing...
(And if any of you are in the leading edge boomer category I apoligize now! And this is just MHO - I have no rational basis for the decline.)
