I think there are two sides to the “preparedness coin”. Prepared to purchase a home. Prepared for our economy.
I mean really prepared. For you, I am creating a comprehensive checklist (to be delivered via mail) that prepares you for:
I think this is so valuable, I am requesting to mail this directly to your home. Look for that request coming soon.
I think the economic headwinds facing our city, province and country are strong. If you are paying any sort of attention to the worlds’ excess supply of oil, and you have the slightest understanding that Calgary is directly tied to the oil and gas industry supply and demand economics – I am sure you connect the dots.
With all of that being said, you may still be interested in purchasing a home.
And purchasing a home in this economy, particularly with the mind set of many people in this city, will require intestinal fortitude.
Why?
Because doing something OPPOSITE of the herd is a little scary.
Stepping out and creating a target on my back is a scary proposition for most people.
When times are good, purchasing a home is an Okay thing to do. Why? Because everyone else is doing it. The herd says it’s OK.
When times are tough, everyone wants to wait until values are high again. Most times, doing the opposite of the majority is very profitable.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I am not against waiting “it” out. But waiting it out, without knowing what “it” is, isn’t going to solve anything.
EITHER WAY …I think defining what “it” is you are waiting for and track it. Measure it. Create a plan of “if’s”. If “this” happens, I do “that”. If “this” doesn’t happen, I do “that”.
Now, if you are thinking to yourself, “what am I waiting for?” and nothing that really convinces you is a good reason, connect with me. I am willing to help create a plan with you. I simply help you by asking strategic questions. This is all about you and your plan.
Talk soon,
Chad
