I just returned with the wife, daughter, son in law and 5 year old grand-daughter from a birthday party for another 5 year old. While the youngins tore up the playground we old folks sat at a picnic table under shelter. My wife started the conversation by asking a couple who we only see at such events if this party was to be the excitement highlight of their weekend. They said they hoped the highlight would come this afternoon with the receipt of an offer on the 5Br/4.5Ba house they were downsizing from. It has been on the market since January. The price had been lowered over the months almost 10% but through June they had less then a dozen lookers. Since July 1 they have had 30 and are told to expect a contract today. An older woman we also only know slightly opened up by saying that there had been 6 units for sale for months in her 40 unit condo community and that 5 of them had gone under contract in the last 2 weeks. The uncle of the birthday honoree had walked up and joined the conversation. He was down from Chattanooga where he is the part owner of a small restaurant and catering business. Because of an improvement in their volume in the last month they have been able to recall 3 of the 5 staff persons that had been laid off. His wife is a teacher and was breathing easier because "bailout" money had supplemented the education budget meaning no teacher layoffs or furloughs would be required. Since I was an intowner in a suburban setting surrounded by suburb dwellers I dared not bring up politics, but it was refreshing to be in a group of people who almost certainly were mostly McCain voters and not a single one bashed Obama.
