I mentioned on the grandparent thread that I quit my job on Wednesday - I worked in Escrow and the market has flattened out. Corporate decided that they are closing our branch office - layed off my supervisor who happens to be a good friend. Of course they want two weeks notice when you quit - but they call you in and hand you a check and say see ya later bye! So when I came back from lunch (my supervisor met us at the park and told me she had been layed off) the big boss was there and told me they layed her off - I told him "well I am done then too" see ya later bye!
Back to the market - in the last year I saw a lot more FSBO's. In the last 2 mos. we started getting in more realtor deals, but it is that time of year here when things start selling. Still not the boom of '05, but not so bad. It just took longer for the lull to hit our area than the rest of the country. There is an article in the Oregonian regarding the affect that the decline in the new housing market is having on the lumber mills in the Pac NW. And it is a trickle down affect - the stock market etc. Hopefully things will bounce back soon!
