I don't know how I missed this!
I don't watch much TV, that's why - I found this today while reading a Local Silver Spring Blog!
On Sept 28, the day after Jim Cramer's famous rant about real estate, the Today Show's Matt Lauer had Cramer and our NAR President elect side by side for an interview about Jim's statement: Don't you DARE buy a house right now!
In this interview he conceded that there were only 3 areas in the United States where it would be OK to buy right now, the first -Seattle, Washington, the second - A Zip Code (10005) in Manhattan and last but not least, Montgomery County, Maryland !!!
Wow ! Out of 50 States and all the other umpteen million places he could have picked he chose little old us! I want to know the why, what statistics and how he came to the conclusions? Boy would that make a heck of a relo package for buyers!! Does he live in Montgomery County, Maryland? Does anyone know where he lives?
OMG, Does he live in Silver Spring?
All I really know about him is that he is brutally loud, abrupt, yells and 
waves his arms a lot.
The only time I really stopped to watch him was one day he had his dog on the show with him. I was mesmerized and watched the show only because the dog (it is sooo cute) was on and I have the same breed of dog. The only thing I really liked about him was his taste in pets! I can take just so much of all that yelling and arm waving. Now, I also like his take on one of the best places to buy a house!
Now I am on the lookout for the huge flood of buyers to start gobbling up all the listings in Montgomery County, Maryland real soon!!!!
If you are thinking of buying or selling a Montgomery County, Maryland Home, I know a really GREAT AGENT in Montgomery County!

Debbie, I watch Kramer ocasionally .. Can't take the whole show...he is play-acting on the show. If you see him on another show being interviewed, he is very low key and mild mannered...
An interesting man! Cute dog!

Well, we are now 20 days out, have you seen an up-tick? Did your local board use this to pump up the market. That would have been a great - and powerful - promotional piece to share with potential buyers.

I'm sorry, I've been too busy the last ten days managing the THREE accepted offers I wrote this month to notice Jim Kramer! Homes are selling in Lynchburg Virginia, thank you very much CNN, MSNBC and anyone else that wants to lump the entire country together! These 'experts' need to be more careful.
