In a Trulia press release, it was recently announced that the number of homes on the market dropped for the eighth consecutive quarter, falling 5.1% over the past year. In a seminar I recently attended, it was stated that the real estate market has it’s lowest inventory in 20 years! What does this mean for potential sellers? If you have been considering selling, now is the time, since there is little competition. If you are considering putting your home on the market, contact me for a no obligation consultation to find out your home’s potential value and tips to get top dollar. What does this mean for potential buyers? If you find a home you like and can see yourself living in for the next several years, make an offer– or someone else will!

Be a Happier Business Person: Here’s How
What are the keys to happiness? Research reveals how you can be happier in your personal and professional life.
Stay positive.
“Bad things happen to everyone, including happy people,” writes Travis Bradberry, co-writer of “Emotional Intelligence 2.0” and co-founder of TalentSmart. “Instead of complaining about how things could have been or should have been, happy people reflect on everything they’re grateful for.” Happy people tend to find the best solution to a problem and then move on, refusing to dwell on negative events.
Surround yourself with the right people.
You’ll build confidence and stimulate creativity by surrounding yourself with other upbeat people. Negative people, on the other hand, can zap away your energy.
Exercise more.
Even moving for as little as 10 minutes can help release a neurotransmitter that helps soothe your brain and keep you in control over your impulses. Schedule regular exercise into your daily life.
Slow down.
Don’t be so caught up in a routine that you forget to appreciate the little things in life. Enjoy a conversation or take a step outside to enjoy a fresh breath of air.
Have deep conversations.
Avoid gossip, small talk, and judging others. Have meaningful interactions by engaging with others on a deeper level and seek to build an emotional connection, Bradberry writes.
Help others.
Employees who helped others were 10 times more likely to be focused at work and 40 percent more likely to get a promotion, according to a study conducted by Harvard University. Those helping employees also were more likely to be happy during stressful times. “As long as you make certain that you aren’t overcommitting yourself, helping others is sure to have a positive influence on your mood,” Bradberry says.
