Home Sales Tied Directly to Who Wins the Super Bowl

Actually, I have no idea if that is true but it sure sounds like it's a possibility.  To my credit, and to make my blog seem credible, I did take two minutes to  research the comparison on Google.  Alas, I could not find any evidence that the Super Bowl winner has any say in US housing trends.

Wouldn't that be something if it did?  What about in Green Bay or in Pittsburgh?  If the Packers win, are fans in such a state of euphoria that they call their favorite Realtor and say, "Wow!  I wasn't going to do this but the football gods have spoken so now it's time for me to buy that green and gold house down the street"?  If the Steelers manage to eek out a win (shudder the thought), will the good folks in Western Pennsylvania start calling their loan officers to get approved for a loan?  Maybe.  Who's to say they won't?

What if you win that office pool?  If you win each quarter and the final score you could find yourself a few hundred bucks richer...enough for a home inspection.  Just sayin'.

At any rate, I will be watching Super Bowl XLV with a high level of interest but only because I'm a huge Green Bay Packers fan.  If one of my real estate clients calls me after the game to tell me they want to buy a new home because prices are fantastic and interest rates are rock-bottom, well then, I guess it just proves my theory.

Enjoy the day with friends and family.  Eat lots of food you really shouldn't.  Relish in the commercials and call me if you have an itch to buy or sell some real estate.  Just make sure to call me after the game.
