Proper Balloon Placement

No balloons, no Hooters girls, no helium-huffing, no bells, no whistles, no runs, no hits, no errors......here's a unique idea: Lower the da*m price.

Unless of course you're wanting to pay months & months & months of carry costs--in that case, shoehorn your arse into a some orange hot pants and start blowing up the balloons.

What happens when that does not work? Just because something is on sale does not mean it will sell.

This is too dangerous a job for just anyone. I probably should handle this job myself. Unit 803 One seagrove will be the location. I will get the time later. I will let all of you know how it comes out and who I pick.

Will this be like a "casting couch?" (I think that is what they call it)

Correct ;-) I may not even need a couch...

No more lowering the price. That is what is wrong with the market. Every time someone cuts the price the buyers wait for the next price cut and the next etc.

Hmmmm... In what type of environment does increase in price WAAAAYYY above fundamentals produce more buying... and decrease in price from market peak create more selling...

You guessed it... a BUBBLE aka Market Mania... Call it what you will... but we are in for a long ride down where few will being chomping at the bit to catch a falling knife.

Ok..everyone start cutting the price!!!!

One indicator that the real estate market is heating up will be when Real Estate agents no longer have time to write these silly posts.

By this measure the market must still be dead.

Ok, this is my first post! Those are my balloons! I did have lots of traffic from those balloons this weekend, but no contracts! Were my balloons supposed to be blue? Any balloon etiquette would be greatly appreciated but not as much as a contract! or

Good point!

See you should have used Hooter girls cause it takes their mind off the price or what ever they are signing. (see Bobby J, I told you I was a born real estate agent :roll: )

Silly posts? This is what I call brain storming! BTW, the real estate market is controlled by the media, and when the media decides the correction is over, it will boom once again. :clap_1:

I totally agree with FlyforFun on the media control which, IMO applies not only to the RE market but extends to include control of pretty much everything the average person thinks these days...why do you think they call it "programming"?

These self-appointed Priests of Reality are the mind control for the wandering masses. Maybe we should all go back to school and become Journalists so that we can control the distribution of truth and reality for the good of mankind! I absolutely think that if people got off of all the flouride and toxins they take in daily, they could probably generate their own thoughts for once and learn to think past the "twaddle and prattle" that they are presented with day-after-day by the talking heads of nothingness...ok...enough ranting for today. That is about as fired up as I get... back to the cave

If you use a Hooter's girl to showcase a for sale sign is that not the same as using a blow up balloon? The only difference I see is flesh? :shock: Bobby what are your thoughts on this issue?

Maybe we should lower the balloon placement?

Lowering the balloon may be a board violation. Ask Bobby J. I am just not sure

What if we are not agents?

Well, in the case of the two balloons belonging to SuperMom26.2, they are on a sign post which is probably 6 foot tall, and the balloons are made of milar, so they will not drag the ground. On the other hand, if you raised those balloons, and Helium did leak out, the string might be long enough the the balloons would drag the ground and be in violation.

As a reminder to anyone posting regular balloons this weekend when the cold weather strikes, your balloons will be lucky to hold up four hours.

Wow to nmosley! I'm just trying to sell a few houses! I did 4 open houses this weekend and had 3 houses on office tour Tuesday. Maybe I am an overachiever, but I'm just going to keep on working hard to sell something! If my balloons got the attention of this forum, then maybe there is a buyer who saw them as well! Even if they are tacky! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! This whole balloon discussion led me to an idea - I will split the profits if you all help me - what about a balloon shaped in the form of the various styles of South Walton architecture - beach cottage, west indies, etc! Much more creative than the festive and tacky balloons! Did I jump the shark?

Maybe sellers need to lower their profit expectations.

We are all just having fun. Don't pay attention. This ballon thread is all a bunch of jokes except the hooter inspections. I must do those. Anyway, you have a beautiful home that will sell. It is probably one of the best bay front home deals on the market. That is if you like incredible views with excellent elevations! BTW, watch out for the doom sayers... Run! They really know how to kill some good mojo!

No more lowering prices to attract buyers?--that's a unique way to create demand for a product. Might as well give it a shot.....the "range pricing" and the "price will go up after Memorial Day" schemes didn't work.

My guess is that folks with cash sitting in uber-safe CD's making 5%+ will comfortably outlast folks who are experiencing "death through a thousand payments."

How did you find that so fast? Not quite what I had in mind but gosh, you are quick!
