I've come in to the office today to show my face and get a couple of things done here. As a result I've been talking to a few people and talked about our house selling process. The people who live in this area are pleased at how it has gone, since for the homeowners amongst them it means good things for their house prices. For people who don't live around here they are completely shocked at how quickly our house sold. We may live in the same logical country but as far as the actual realities of living in a particular place they really are different worlds. Simply telling how fast and overwhelming the response to putting our house on the market dumbfounds people from other parts of the country. Especially if they have never seen a market where supply and demand are so different like they are here currently. It could lead to a bubble again here but by then we will be well clear and living elsewhere.
I suppose it does come as shocking when you hear of something happening that you could never conceive of occurring in your part of the world. Even then though you can never expect to know of everything that could happen, you should realise that things can be very different. Just strikes me as odd really that people are shocked about things despite the ease of communication in the world now. Unless you shut yourself off from things you hear about most things or at least have the ability to. Keeping an open mind to the possibility of something very different always seems a good idea.
