Today I was contacted by reporters from two different publications. The day started with a call from a reporter at Money Magazine in New York. They were doing a story on the real estate markets that seem to be maintaining a decent level of activity in spite of the downturn in many markets across the nation. As you all know, I am still very bullish on Wenatchee.... for all the reasons I've written about in previous blog entries.
Later in the day, I was called by a reporter at the Wenatchee World newspaper. They were doing an interesting story about street names and whether I have had any experience with people choosing to (or not) to buy a home based on the name of the street. My only contribution to that story was that I don't think people moving to the area have ever indicated any preference based on street names BUT I believe people who have lived here for a while have pre-conceived notions about what streets they do or do not want to live on based on the "reputation" of the neighborhood.
So, please watch for future issues of those publications to see if either (or both) actually quote me in print AND if they make me sound like a dork. I thought my interviews sounded fairly intelligent but it doesn't always translate in print, after editing!
Stay tuned for the outcome...
