Hi John - ah, if only the media would find their way to some positive reporting, perhaps some of those markets that declined might actually be in the other category in the next NAR report!

Thanks for this info!

Ann - I agree. There is a lot of good news in the latest report, it's just a matter of looking at it from a local perspective rather than regional or national. Thanks for your input!

Hi John, thanks for the links... Agree with Ann above - we need to see a bit more balanced reporting by the media.  Oh well... I guess that's what we are for to bring what we see locally to the market. 

Enjoy your Sunday!

Irina - You've got it! Local agents need to consistently share their insights about market activity with the public. Have a good week ahead!
