If you look up the term “normalcy bias,” you find yourself swimming in psychological theoretician talk, most of which deals with people’s response to disastrous situations. The theory behind it is that when faced with the unknown, there is a tendency among even rational human beings to misconstrue new (and even dangerous) circumstances as being [...]
If you try to predict what Henderson real estate activity is likely to be based on only our local activity, you soon find what causes statisticians to turn up their noses: the sample size is simply too small to project reliable trends. That’s why serious Henderson observers look to the incoming real estate activity stats [...]
The best real estate agent schooling isn’t something that takes place in a classroom. That kind of school is necessary, of course, because some of the most important work every Henderson real estate agent does have to do with being intimately familiar with the letter of current state laws and Department of Real Estate strictures. [...]
With Brexit still fresh on minds here and abroad—and the sometimes hot/sometimes slow summer selling season well underway—some Henderson sellers might well be questioning whether foreign buyer influence will remain strong throughout the nation this season. Last month’s numbers provide an answer that’s less ambiguous than usual. The answer is definitely “yes”! The latest national [...]
When you set about selling your Henderson house, it’s good to adopt the kind of determined mindset that’s served you well in other pursuits. That’s all well and fine, so long as you keep in mind that when it comes to selling a house, in addition to being a serious business undertaking, it is one [...]
Moving Day: for Henderson residents who relish order in their lives, this is one day when no amount of preparation is likely to totally quell the feeling that the world is on the verge of chaos. The day (or days, if the move is one that begins or ends outside Henderson) will predictably end with [...]
There’s a reason the English language’s greatest playwright was called “The Bard of Avon” and not “The Bard of Henderson.” In Hamlet, for instance, despite the fact that Shakespeare’s Polonius character is supposed to be a wise counselor, he gets at least one piece of advice wrong when he tells his son, “Neither a borrower [...]
Thoughtful Henderson investors find themselves in an increasingly uncertain environment. Although the official cost of living numbers indicate that inflation isn’t much of an issue, few Henderson residents who mind the family budget are convinced. Even if that were currently the case, even fewer think it a situation that will last indefinitely. At the same [...]
While reading a real estate magazine article about “the pros and cons of buying during the peak selling season,” I was fairly certain (as you probably would be) that, one way or another, the cons wouldn’t outweigh the pros. The Henderson’s peak selling season is certainly prime time whenever there are homes for sale, [...]
The headline had to stop everyone who even glanced at Bloomberg’s Technology section: Henderson readers (even those who are relatively gimmick-immune) would have been hard pressed to pass up last Wednesday’s Bloomberg Technology headline: “Can This Real Estate Gimmick Save the World?” Whether the subject of the article really is a gimmick or “the [...]
Much of the financial press has been sounding a recurrent theme for a while: the complaint that the interest rate slump has left growth-oriented investors with few choices other than a Wall Street gamble. Henderson investors may find that some degree of risk is tolerable when you have a lifetime of earning ahead of you, [...]
The Huffington Post (“Huffpo” to its friends) has an entire section devoted to real estate doings. Although the vast majority of those dispatches are tidbits about awesomely expensive celebrity condos in Manhattan, sometimes the Huffpo editors’ attention wanders momentarily to other matters. Last month they uncovered a study which delved into a topic of interest [...]
