The Forecast is for Rain
May 1st, 2010 by Christina Yeakel
As I write the May Newsletter, I am sitting here at my office desk, looking out the spacious window that views a flowering plum tree and a multitude of blossoming shrubs and trees whose names have long escaped me. I am quite fortunate to have an office that allows me to keep in touch with the beauty of the outdoor landscape. This view has inspired me on many an occasion.
Today the sun is shining brightly, the sky is peppered with beautiful cumulus clouds that seem to be stuck in slow motion, I can even hear a passing covey of quail that are well hidden from sight, but have made their presence known with their distinctive calling. The desert is truly a beautiful place to live and work!
What is so unique about today is that when I turned on the radio to capture the latest financial headline, all I heard were warnings about our dire circumstances nationally and particularly for Southern Nevada. When you drill down to the sources of reporting, you find bits of truth designed to capture your attention, but they contain little substance or veracity. Real estate is normally at the focus of these commentaries. If you believe these forecasters of economic gloom, owners would never sell their house; renters would never become first time buyers; and investors would park their disposable cash in cd’s and wait for the next decade to take risk.
Oh, by the way, the weather forecast for today was for thunderstorms and high winds; another forecast gone awry.
A Special Thanks and Blessing
March 30th, 2010 by Christina YeakelCan you believe the passage of time? This month I am celebrating an anniversary with my friends and clients that have been receiving this monthly newsletter. It was just four years ago that I started this publication. We have covered much ground; I hope you have found it interesting and not boring; maybe a little controversial, but sometimes that is acceptable. I promise to keep you informed on what I see are important real estate concerns and a little “food for thought” along the way. I want to thank the many clients that have given their trust to me these past years and I am thankful that this newsletter was the conduit from which I have had the opportunity to serve them in their real estate needs.
April is synonymous with the Easter/Passover period. Even if you may not celebrate the religious foundation of this singular time, it traditionally represents a period of awakening. We see it all around us in the change of seasons: our clocks move forward, green starts to break out on dormant trees, birds are more visible and noisy. The anticipation of the season becomes evident in all that we do. It is with this thought in mind that I wish each of you continued health and vitality throughout this year, and that it brings a stirring of our senses and an appreciation of our many blessings that surround us.
