Believe it or not, real estate brokers in Salem, Massachusetts have been asking self-proclaimed witches to bless the homes they’re desperately trying to sell (this is the only city where such a thing might seem somewhat normal). These blessings are being carried out to rid homes of their negative energy. Some superstitious agents really think this will help sell their homes. I found a video on CNNMoney.com that follows a witch during one of her blessings. To say the least, it was pretty entertaining— it shows how hopeless some people really are.
I knew real estate agents were getting desperate— they’re considered to be the modern day used- car- dealer. But, I’ve never seen something like this; it makes me question how sane some brokers are. These homes aren’t selling because of their “negative energy”. They can’t sell because we’re in the midst of one of the worst housing crises in American History! This video clip kept saying how important positive attitudes are and even quoted a “satisfied customer”. The market needs much more than positive energy to recover anytime soon. Job creation and looser lending standards are what’s needed.
