I was sure Trump would win and the all-go-no-quit Trump economy would rage on. At the same time, I did not anticipate the NAR opting to take up the race war against its own membership.

Even so, the first quarter has been good to me, and the whole year is shaping up nice. I’m told there are more Realtors than listings right now, but it is a very pleasant world for a broker with a client base – and listing houses for sale has never been easier than it is right now.
The supply side is my long-term future, and the Southwest exodus will continue as before, after the riot-borne exodus has abated. “Affordable, move-in-ready luxury” – that’s every relo’s dream, easy to sell from afar.
For the short-run, I’m not so sure. For now, I’m content to hide and watch – and play with dogs.
