A Little Real Estate Humor

By: Hal James..

They say you should look for the silver lining in bad situations. The current real estate is so bad that the silver lining is pretty hard to find. Still, it has given rise to a large number of jokes. At the end of the day, a good laugh can go a long way to helping you hang in there.

A doctor met an old lawyer friend and asked him what he was doing there. The lawyer replied, "Remember that lousy real estate I bought? Well, it caught fire, so here I am with the fire insurance proceeds. What are you doing here?" The doctor replied, "Remember that lousy real estate I had in Mississippi? Well, the river overflowed, and here I am with the flood insurance proceeds." The lawyer looked puzzled. "Gee, how did you start the flood?"

WHEN we put our house up for sale, I stressed emphatically that my sons make their beds each morning. I was surprised and impressed that my 15-year-old son's bed was made perfectly each day. One night when I went into his room, I discovered his secret he was fast asleep on the floor in his sleeping bag.

There is no longer a need for the neutron bomb. We already have something that destroys people and leaves buildings intact. It's called a mortgage.

This country is great. It's the only place where you can borrow money for a downpayment, get a 1st and 2nd mortgage and call yourself a homeowner.

A Modern home is a place where a switch controls everything but the kids, and it has gadgets to do everything except make the payments.

A Happy Home is a place where each spouse entertains the possibility that the other may be right though neither believes it.

When A real-estate agency hadn't sold our house, we decided to do it ourselves. I placed ads in the local papers, spray painted a "For Sale" message on a and posted it outside. When my husband came home, he told me, laughing, that my sign was the most truthful one he had ever seen. In my haste I had printed - "For Sale by Ower."

Did you hear about Robin Hood's house? It has a little John.

Definition of "one of a kind" in real estate ads - Architect was a heroin addict. So ugly, the neighbors are pooling money to have it demolished!

My buyer told me that he lived in the same house for 10 years. When I checked, I found out he'd still be there today if the Governor hadn't pardoned him.

There is no escaping the fact the current real estate market is an absolute bear. There is a definite silver lining, however. Later this year or perhaps next year, it will turn around. When it does, people are going to bounce back with a vengeance. Until then, just smile.
