Best Realty's Lake Oroville Real Estate Blog

After two consecutive days of “the sky is falling” reporting about the real estate market, I thought you all might appreciate some time meeting with our resident Lake Oroville Real Estate psychiatrist to help deal with this “tragic” news. 
Free Real Estate Market, meet Dr. I Told You So
Dr. I Told You So: What seems to be the problem today, Free Market
Free Market: I’m  just exhausted, Doc.
I Told You So: Really? Tell me why.
Free Market: Well, every time I try to do my job, something, or someone, interferes with me.
I Told You So: Didn’t we have this conversation about 10 years ago?
Free Market: Yes, when a bunch of meddlers forced me to loan money to people who would never have been approved for a loan, had they let me do my job. 
I Told You So:  So, how has it gone since then?
Free Market: Well, I hit my head real hard when I fell of the cliff. Since then they have been trying to put me on disability, thinking that I am no longer capable of doing my job.
I Told You So: Let me get this right, they attempted to disable you, Free Market.
Free Market: Yes.
I Told You So: Didn’t I tell you that there is no way to disable you? That the only way to stop you is to take you over?
Free Market: Yes, but how come nobody else seems to understand this?
I Told You So: Who is nobody?Free Market: Well, Let’s see. Congress, The California Legislature, The National Association of REALTORS, the California Association of REALTORS and many individual REALTORS that I am around.
I Told You So: What did they do to you?
Free Market: There I was trying to recover from my fall, barely starting to feel like my old self again when all of a sudden I was told I wasn’t  working fast enough and then they held me down and injected me with something they called stimulus.
I Told You So: Are you saying what I think you are saying.
Free Market: Yes, they injected me with the leftover Cash from Clunkers serum.
I Told You So: Oh no. No wonder you are exhausted.
Free Market: Yeah, as soon as they injected me I started running around feeling stronger that I have in the past three years. Everybody thought I was finally healing.
I Told You So: Not everybody.
Free Market: Huh?
I Told You So: Didn’t I tell you that if they tried the Cash for Clunkers medicine on you that it would not work. That it would only temporarily interrupt you, Free Market, from doing what you do.
Free Market: Yes.
I Told You So: So how is it going now.
Free Market: I am now going through withdrawals. I have come off my high and now everybody is saying that I am tanking again. And I think I am. Existing home sales are down almost 30% and new home sales are down over 12%.
I Told You So: Don’t panic about this! Sales are down now because of the high they put on you with that market interferce drug called “Tax Credit.” Now that the drug has worn off you have the chance to do the job you were established to do. But you have to carry the temporary burden of being looked down upon for going where you were already going before you were assaulted.
Free Market: Boy, am I glad to hear THAT.
I Told You So: Always remember this, Free Market. You are much like a mail carrier. Neither rain nor sleet, nor government or trade group interference, can keep you from your appointed duties.
Free Market: Thanks Doc.
I Told You So: You’re welcome.  Now get out there and get that Supply and Demand thing going again!!! Oh, and that will be $300.00. You can pay my receptionist on the way out.
Free Market: Gee thanks, I guess the Free Market IS back.
