Please don’t shoot the messenger! We’ve all heard this euphamism used when somebody reacts to bad news by blaming the reporting person or agency, which is exactly what happened in yesterday’s Tallahassee Real Estate Blog about Piney-Z home sales.
I wrote an article with updated facts about the Piney-Z neighborhood in Tallahassee. The reader was obviously very upset that home sales in Piney-Z have fallen, both in the number of homes sold as well as in the average sales price, and left a long rant in response.
As this is a daily blog, written at “O-dark hundred” in the morning without the benefit of staff and statisticians, I usually just try to deliver Tallahassee real estate market information in graphical format and simple analysis. Yesterday was just such a day and I gave a generalized report on the Piney-Z neighborhood in Tallahassee. And because it caused such an emotional response with several readers, I thought I would revisit the data today, and implement a few suggestions from the readers.

Hi Joe, That was a neat little action picture. I think many homeowners would like to shoot the messenger. It seems somehow the have the mistaken belief that we actually make their markets or influence them greatly. If only they could understand that if we could really do that, we would all the markets to be buzzing with sales and prices would be stable.
