Are you a Follower or a Leader?

Most have heard the story of the multi-millionaire before the stock market crash in the 1920's. For those of you that do not know the story, the following is a brief explanation. The 1920's were roaring and money flowed throughout the country. Everyone was making money and doing well. A wealthy gentleman stopped to have his shoes shined one afternoon. As he conversed with the gentleman shining his shoes he was told 'Mr. if you have any money, you need to put it into stocks, you can't lose'. Later that afternoon he went to his office and sold every stock he had. When his secretary asked why he said 'If everyone knows to put money into something it is to late, and time to get out.' Later that week the stock market crashed and millions of people lost everything.

Fast forward to today.

The past couple of years people have been running away from purchasing real estate, even here on Hilton Head Island, like it was the plague. If you talk to most people on the street they will say 'stay out of real estate you can only lose money.' These people are classified as Followers. They only go into something after everyone else has and as we know by then it is to late.

With inventory levels being depleted, meaning supply is going down, where do you think Hilton Head Island real estate will be in 3,4,5....7 years from now? The answer is easy, up.
