HI Dan, This is so true! I went to a mortgage convention a few monhths ago and we had national economists spend 3 days telling us one thing, the problem is'nt everywhere, educate your consumers, be a part of the solution not the problem!
great post Dan.....Media creates sweeping and hasty generalizations which are both by definition illogical - people who believe everything they hear & see on TV become demoralized and fear stricken - it's only the savvy few who will emerge having capitalized on the incredible opportunites that exist in this housing market now!
sincerely,
Grace
Christina,
We have to spend a lot of our time trying to sift through what is real and not....what truly effects us and doesn't.
Hi Dan - I'm afraid I'm in one of those states which the media loves to hype. Unfortunately the news is more often true than not. I'm hoping that our seriously low prices alone will drag the market back up. It's been almost 3 years of a down market here. Having said that, there are certainly agents who will do well, we just have to work harder and smarter.
I love statistics - foreclosures up 71% doesn't tell me much. Is that 1% of all homes? 10%? A jump from 1000 to 1710 is a 71% increase. My point is it sounds scary until you peek behind the curtain to see what it really means.
Grace,
We try so hard to keep it real......the absurd makes it so much harder for us.
Ryan,
Numbers can be anything...without looking behind them you can never be sure their meaning.
Gail,
I hear your pain and hope too that the recent changes in leadership, whether you voted that way or not, will make the needed permanent changes to move all of the country forward.
