I don't know about you but I am so tired of opening the paper only to read how the housing market is on the decline. Haven't we heard this for the last two years? I opened the paper last week only to read splashed across the headlines that the market will continue to be down until 2010. Who makes these guesses and why is this new news? I knew this since the last RE/MAX convention in March.
All these headlines bring about is frightening the consumer into believing that it's still not the right time to buy or sell which further exacerbates the problem.
How about shouting out about the areas of the country that aren't slumping so bad. Recently there was an article that Lexington, KY was a great buy. This was on the Bloomberg Report site and by a National writer. Why wasn't this glorified by our local paper. I only heard about because our local board sent it out to the members. I, of course, shared it with our clients but would have loved to read about it in the newspaper too. Even page 2 would have helped!
