We have a friend whose family has been in the real estate business for 50 years. May should be a big month for sales, this year is different though. Most calls now are for appraisals, not that they want to sell right now, they are just curious about the value of their homes. Most of our friends are small business owners. This is a miserable time for them. When they are forced to lay off employees, it is like letting go a family member. Unlike large companies, they have very little to offer them. We have always supported our local small business community and have seen many go under because they could not compete with large chain stores. The ones that are left now have a faulting economy to deal with. Funny thing now that gas prices are rocketing, many are wishing that the neighborhood hardware store ect. was still around. You can take the word of any analyst but, for me the people speak the truth and they are worried. Worried people do not spend like they use to. This is what my small business friends are telling me :-(((
