What the heck is Mercury retrograde and what could it possibly have to do with real estate? A lot!
Mercury Retrograde is when the planet Mercury starts to go in a backward motion. This happens approximately three times a year for a 3 to 4 week period. We are currently in one of these periods and the havoc wreaked is real -- even if you don't believe in astrology. This retrograde started on October 12 and ends November 1. The planet Mercury rules communication and transportation. Therefore, it is not a good time to start anything new, such as a contract, job, etc. It is also a bad time for travel and buying anything expensive, especially electronics.
During this time, real estate transactions will fall out of escrow, communications will break down, and people will have disagreements. If you happen to have homes in contract, be especially diligent about communication with all parties and expect delays.
Despite Mercury Retrograde's negative aspects, there are some positive ones too. This period is a great time to "re" do anything. Reconnect with old friends, redo your closet, restart your workout routine, etc.
