2024 Personal Note

This is written at holiday time with reflection and thankfulness, and 2024 was a good year for YFiRE. There were BIG changes to U.S. real estate markets as a result of the NAR lawsuit, which made things quite awkward for buyers, sellers, and agents. However, the settlement had no negative impact on listings, showings, or contracts. Lower mortgage rates this year could help buyers, sellers, agents, mortgage originators, closing agents, etcetera. Special thanks to you and other friends in real estate who stay tuned or have children who are now buying homes. Please mention my name to two friends so I can continue to pay cash at Harris Teeter. That's my logo; it was once my photo. →

HISTORY

THE RECENT PAST

THE FUTURE
Many buyers still face competition to win their home of choice. In response to a wild market, I created a novel data-based method to help buyers beat others trying to buy the same home. In addition, I have a proven program to help those wanting to buy a home in any specific area, which will save them thousands of dollars. Further, they will NOT have to fight other buyers!

Meanwhile, it's a joy to be remembered by my friends in real estate when it's time to move. Please mention Your Friend in Real Estate to a friend, neighbor, or business associate who is buying or selling a home. A friend of yours is always a friend of mine.

Here's hoping my 2025 calendar is on your refrigerator and you are sharing my monthly Local Market Report with friends, neighbors, family, co-workers, and complete strangers. The Report often includes personal messages, questions, tips, and miscellanea, along with timely real estate topics.

Special thanks to all who have helped me meet new friends. Let's get together somewhere, sometime; whatever works. Call or text 703 434 0773 or email david@DrRealEstate.net. My yfire1@gmail.com address is history. Onward and upward!

With very best fishes,

Your Friend in Real Estate
Helping you and your friends for decades
