Just a thought.....

Why do we put so much faith as consumers as well as agents in the media? After all, your local media dedicates a large portion of each broadcast on television to the weather. Isn't predicting the weather kind of like trying to predict the future? They can get close to a forecast occassionally, but I think the accuracy is slim and they get it wrong about 50% of the time. I apply the same notion to trying to predict the real estate industry. They have not a clue what will happen in the up coming year much less upcoming months. Why is it that negative news draws more attention than good news? Its like Madonna with the negative publicity stunts! We all grew tired of that, and I suggest we all tune into something else when the "weather predictions" start up on the old boob tube. Easier said than done....maybe so, but I for one am growing tired of the "weather predictions" in regards to real estate. If the ratings go down due to lack of attention, then maybe the media will change their tune. Just a thought.......
