It is unusual for me to skip a day of posting on this blog but I have been out of town and although I had internet access the entire time I didn't have any time to write and I still don't because of the number of meetings and appointments I have today to get caught up from being gone. It was a business trip combined with a little time off as I attended the annual National Association of Realtors convention. I spoke on a panel, went to some meetings and attended some educational type sessions.
One hot topic of discussion was the impending wave of foreclosures that we all believe will hit the housing market in 2010, many will be caused by ARM resets and job loss.
The "meetings" were mostly at bars and one was kind of on the beach but they still count. Today meetings will be in coffee shops and over the internet via skype which isn't quite as much fun but it gets the job done.
Even though I was in sunny San Diego and when I woke up yesterday morning it was about thirty degrees warmer than it is here I would rather be here in Minnesota.
It would be nice though if we had flowers like these blooming in November.

Teresa,
At the convention you went to, was there any talk about short sale trends? I’m finding on a few blogs that short sales have been a little easier to pull off over the last few months, especially in Florida. How are things looking up there in Minnesota?
Teresa,
That photo looks like a Bird of Paradise and they can often be found at the Como Conservatory. I know, I know, indoor flowers just aren’t the same, but I’ve seen some of your great photos from there as well. It’s as close as we’ll get for another 5 or 6 months =]
I have seen them at como park conservatory and taken photos of them. This was the first time I saw them growing outside and there were so many.
Probably the second thing I miss most about moving from San Diego, aside from the weather, is Birds of Paradise. Your photo picked up the colors well. I fell in love with Birds of Paradise…it is everywhere out there and is very unique.
