Yes, I am in Lisbon and my perspective is optimistic.I think that 2020 will be quite solid due to all the supports and subsidies from banks and government. 2021 will give some discounts and Christmas 2021 will be the turning point for RE to grow up again

I once rented a 5bed/3bath in two days, just a week before Christmas when the ground was covered with snow and ice.Sitting vacant in the winter increases the risk of frozen pipes or other expensive problems.

I made sure the inspection was scheduled for Christmas Eve.

Cruz is a total dork, but a 3-4 week vacancy between Thanksgiving and Christmas is very normal.

Kind of like betting on Vegas having a snowy Christmas. 

I'd love to buy up some land in the Christmas or Santiago Mountains, but I love hunting for and photographing rare snakes so that's sort of a niche use haha.The Chihuahuan desert and western mountains of Texas are no joke, it is some of the most remote, unpopulated, water-starved, but breathtakingly beautiful country in the entire US.Just FYI it's not that west Texans dislike solar or wind farms... we love money!

Contractors are slow and need money to pay off christmas

Under the Christmas you won the lottery yesterday

We just button down our lake house and hope to get a Thanksgiving (we did this year) and Christmas (nothing yet). 

I'm in your market (4 Corners) and we've got Thanksgiving & the Christmas/New Years weeks booked but a big gap in between them, whereas we're usually filled up from the beginning of November on.
