Despite all the negativity in the press over the last few days, Angus Hunt has an optimistic outlook.
With his clients that is at least.
The young man who quietly transitioned from leasing a BMW 320xi into a more affordable Volkswagen Golf this week explained that there are always people out there peddling negative stuff.
“Always going to be people spreading FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) dude,” Hunt said.
“But at the end of the day, my ability to own a different suit for every day of the week, blow it out on a Friday arvo, if you know what I mean, and rent luxury vehicles depends on people thinking the market is strong,” the man who hasn’t sold a house this month said.
The residential agent based in Betoota’s French Quarter explained that while these economists and analysts might have a point about the current climate, he’s never seen the market not doing well.
“In my experience, all these people can say what they want, but at the end of the day, I’m still out here selling blocks, making money, and making other people money,” Hunt said.
“I have read a lot of motivational literature, and I know that you can’t let negativity seep in. So I can’t be telling clients you know what, maybe it’s not the best time to buy when housing prices are at record highs and real estate is at record lows.”
Hunt admitted that while he has in fact given away the lease on the luxury car, which was an important part of making a strong impression on potential home buyers, if his sales do in fact keep going the way they are he may have landed himself in a bit of hot water.
“Just to be safe,” he said.
