CNN's New Tag

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Business Attorney and Success Advisor

CNNMoney.com has a new tag line.  It's called "Mortgage Meltdown 2007".  Catchy title, isn't it?  Makes me wonder why they insist on sensationalizing things like this...but then I remember, they're in the ratings and revenue business and that's all part of the game.

So the real news is that home sales slipped AND inventory rose, which means that there's a 9.6 month supply of homes for sale, up from 9.1 months in June.  According to this article, that is the biggest supply of homes since Oct. 1991.  And they blame (in part) the mortgage liquidity crisis.

Another day, another sky falling. All real estate is local. They forget that. But, they can't focus on that because there might be good news somewhere in the country. They don't report good news.

Thanks!

Jason, as usual, the "teaser" is more sensational than the actual situation.

The crap the sell as news is amusing.  The real joke is that WE Americans watch it and believe it!
