How About Those Red Wings!

Congratulations to the Detroit Red Wings on a fine season, just concluded. When this year began, I doubt that many of us would have predicted that the Wings would reach the NHL's "Final Four," but they did. I know from listening to our two Detroit sports talk radio stations over the past few days, that there are fans out there who are unhappy about the Wings-Ducks series outcome. They complain about everything from Nick Lidstrom's stick to Dominik Hasek in goal. Dom had a great series, make no mistake about it and lets hope, despite his 41 years, that the "Dominator" decides to return for at least one more year with the Wings. He's proven that, even at his age, he's still one of the leagues best goalies. As for Nick, he's always been one of my favorites. Lets continue to marvel at his skills in hopes that he spends a few more years wearing the captain's "C", before he hangs up his skates and returns to Sweden for good. There's a sports waiting for him at the Hockey Hall of Fame when he does skate off into the sunset. He's marvelous to watch and a good person off the ice as well.

It was disappointing to see many empty seats at Joe Louis Arena during the playoffs, but I guess with the local economy being what it is, local sports attendance must suffer, just like we in real estate and our sellers, are also suffering. Yes, it's a buyers market out there right now and I don't see it changing any time soon. My best guess, the local real estate market will begin to improve in the spring of 2008. Meanwhile, if you're a buyer, there's a lot of terrific bargains out there. Your Realtor can show them to you!

I will use this blog to not only comment on the local real estate market, but as you can see, on other issues, both news and sports, as well. Stay tuned as they say in radio 'cause "you ain't seen nothin' yet."
