Work on a long term plan

Thinking of the long term plan - lately I have been hearing and seeing first hand comments as visitors like my area, and go off driving wanting to rent or consider purchasing or just inspecting at an open house.  Some comments are:

• "Oh there must have been 30 people queing up to get in the door so we left"
• "This is a nice area, what price is that house down the road going for"
• "This is a great location, close to shops, the M1, and schools"

What message am I getting from these comments?  Are they:-

• Cashed up
• Relocating to Qld.
• Sold their own home so have a good deposit
• Must reside in this school catchment area
• Got an inheritance

Or, is this interest in the area part of a long term plan?  Chapters 6 and 7 talk about getting into the market and how to get started.

When we purchased in this area 35 years ago there was little interest in the cost; the three places on offer in the street were the same price in spite of their differences.

Long term plans are the best!
