"The sky is falling, the sky is falling."  Do you remember the story of Chicken Little? He runs through town screaming.   He says that a piece of the sky, shaped like a stop sign, has fallen on his head, when he was sitting under the big oak tree, in town square.

Sound familiar, sound like something off the evening news? 

The dismal state of the economy?

The black trenches that the real estate market if enduring? 

The reports that the world appears to be coming to a screeching halt?

The bad news just goes on and on, according to the media.

I was on the phone talking to a potential buyer this morning.  She told me that the real estate market was a mess. She had heard it was not a good time to buy because no one else was.

'It's all over the news, every night,'  she said.

"If you tell a big enough lie, and you tell it frequently enough, people will believe it." -Adolf Hitler

Don't believe everything you hear. The media is painting an unrealistic picture of the current market as a whole.  I previously wrote an article about this. Yes, we have been in a declining market. Times have been tough. And yes, there are buyers across the country are upside down on their homes. 

But, that's not everyone!

And, people have been out buying.

Many are optimistic and they know that there are great buying opportunities available today.

Our phones have been ringing off the hook since the beginning of the year. Business is quite brisk!

Why is it that everyone thought that Chicken Little was crazy, but they don't question the validity of what is being fed to them on the local news?

I just really don't get it! 

Garbage in, garbage out.

I remember as a kid we used to run around saying, "don't believe everything you hear.

And, believe only half of what you see!"

Get up off your couch.

Turn your TV off.

Stop listening to the dismal news.
