Lets face it, when you read today's Headlines all we hear about is the worse case. "Consumer Confidence Falling", "A Recession is Upon Us", "Housing Prices Continue to Fall" and so on. But I don't believe the headlines tell the whole story.
Each week in my local market I write a column in the local paper entitled the Real State of Real Estate. I supply to the public the real numbers, real facts about our local real estate market. For example, according to the Stats, new mortgage applications are up.
I have also noticed that first time … (7 comments)

- 11/11/08 11:07 AM
I was just reading some comments on the AR site when out of the blue I noticed a new statement that declared that I have received 2000 bonus points from Bob Stewart for my efforts in promoting Localism.

This morning at the Allyn Community Association meeting, I took upon myself to announce to the attendees that the local Real Estate community has been very active in providing informative commentary, photos and chitchat about the community and posting it to LOCALISM.

The response was very favorable and the discussion appeared to encourage the Realtors that attended the meeting to continue to be acting as blogging ambassadors for the community. Also, in the Local newspaper, Localism was featured in my weekly … (5 comments)
