April has finally arrived – yes two days ago, but it’s here.  One of my friends firmly believes that if this month doesn’t explode with business, we may as well turn out the lights and roll up the sidewalks out front.  He believes this is the final and best month to sell real estate in 2010.

So far, it has easily been the busiest month I’ve had in nine or ten months.

I’m very worried as an agent about what happens after April 30th when the federal tax credit expires.  Will real estate come to a standstill?  Or will this slow recovery continue?

I am hoping that people who are qualified to buy will continue to buy even after the carrot dangling before them is gone.  When I bought my first and second homes, I wasn’t tempted because of a bag of loot.  I bought because we had saved and struggled and wanted a place of our own.

I think that part of the American spirit lives.
