It Was A Super Sunday

I haven't been blogging for a while but I am making a committment to post something at least once a week.

Today was Super Bowl Sunday and I am happy to say that my Saints won!!  I like the Colts but a few years back, actually quite a few years back, I lived in the New Orleans area.  I went to most of the home games and it was great even tho they were about the worst team in the league.  So to the Saints and to all of New Orleans~congrats, it was just your time.

Still on the subject of New Orleans, if you ever get the opportunity to visit go on a diet BEFORE you go.  The food is just incredible, I haven't found any place I have ever traveled to that can even compare.  I was lucky enough to have a great chef from The Commanders Palace teach me how to make all the dishes that they were famous for....just wish he was here now, not to teach me, but to cook for me since I rarely cook anymore.

Today was a super day not just for football.  Today I did not do an open house, which is really rare because if I am in town on a Sunday I always do an open.  Today I had clients that requested that I take them on a tour in Pelican Marsh to view homes from $700,000 to about $1.1 million.  We saw some beautiful homes, each one had something special to offer whether it was the view or details of the home. 

I think I was just as excited as my clients were because I got to go to other Realtors open houses and have fun instead of working.  Because believe it or not I love to show homes to buyers...it doesn't seem like work to me.  And I am happy to report that I felt that everyone we met today on our tour was positive and upbeat.  I think people are feeling more confident and ready to either downsize or ready to buy something larger.  For me, we have been very busy the last 6 months and we see the homes and condos in our community (Pelican Marsh) selling, some of them in a matter of weeks not months.  So for all of us that is good news because our homes are investments and the signs that the real estate market is rebounding is a good thing!
