Semi-retired???

[Ron Sower]

I'm not going to hijack a thread where I got to thinking about this... So here goes.

We moved to a mfr home park a little over a year ago. I had inactivated my real estate license, so I guess I was officially retired from fulltime work.  After being here 6 months I decided, ''okay, I'll reactivate my license and work part-time just listing houses here in our friendly l'il park''.  So I guess I'm now semi-retired.  Semi means ''half'' right?  Or something like that. So I should have plenty of time to play with my fish and do aquarium club stuff, right?

Then why am I so freaking busy with work all day these days?  Moving from part-time to full-time, I guess.

Having not watched Lost in Space, I had to Google Will Robinson. Boy! I'm really getting an education on here...!!

All this real estate stuff occurs in spurts.  For awhile it's dead as a doornail, then boom! it all starts happening at once. Then dead again.  It was dead for 2-3 weeks, but in the last 2 weeks 6 listings...!

People leave our 55+ community for 1 of 3 reasons...
1. Move in with family or low cost senior apts because of rent prices in here
2. they are moved to assisted living, nursing home, rehab (in any order)
3. they are wheeled out toes up

I've learned there's no season on any of those reasons, while in the outside world there is seasonality in home buying and selling.
