Busy in Real Estate when the Weather Turns Cold
It is always a little bit of fun to start digging yourself out (the first couple of times) each year in Minnesota after a healthy snowfall. Yesterday's storm did not disappoint. While today's biting cold temps could be done without, yesterday was great.
Between joking with the neighbors, shoveling out the driveway with my family, and helping to push out a pizza delivery kid who got stuck in the cul-de-sac; we had an all around great day. It also helped that the Minnesota Vikings blew out the Arizona Cardinals.
The funny thing about inclimate weather is that it always makes the phone ring for my real estate business. At first, I could never figure out why I would always get so many calls with real estate related questions when it snows heavy or if there were bad storms in the summer. Yesterday, after repeatedly questioning potential buyers, I figured out exactly why.
It turns out, if there isn't anything better to do, people like to search real estate online (duh Jason - it sure took a genius to figure that out). Knowing that I have the only website in St Cloud that is ranked within immediate vieweing range (top 4 or better) on Google, Yahoo, and MSN's Live Search search results for "real estate st cloud mn" makes it only stand to reason why I would get more work calls on inclimate days.
I guess with that in mind, "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...."
