"The Sky is Falling"

By
Real Estate Agent with Kim Wilbourn Realty

Is it true? For months how the media has been talking about how bad the economy is, and now I heard on the radio this morning it is gonna get worse! Yes, "Oh the economy was good, yesterday, but it looks like it's going to be so bad tomorrow.

First of all, slow growth is growth, nonetheless. Secondly, I would like to object to the use of the phrase "all the way down".This is a phrase that sounds like the economy is going to come to a screeching halt. I think we need to not think that "The Sky is Falling",and not make the bad economy sound like a foregone conclusion.

Great post, Kim.  I completely agree with you!  No, the sky is not falling.  Let's be optimistic here.

Who are these analysts anyway that sit around and predict our economy? Who knows, really.

I sold more houses this year than last, (and I am told by most that this was a horrible economy) and I plan on selling even more houses next year, and if that is what you call a "bad economy" keep it coming!

I completely agree - focus on what you can do, not on what you don't have any control over - I've had the majority of my clients having a great year.  We just decided that we weren't going to participate in the hype.

Kim, I keep hearing in the media how bad it is yet I haven't heard it once from people in the business.  I agree, who are these analysts?
