By
Real Estate Agent with Tooele Prudential Utah Real Estate
GET IRRITATED WITH THE LOCAL MEDIA WHEN THEY COMPARE MARKET FIGURES FOR HOME SALES IN THE COUNTY. tHEY ARE CMPARING TODAYS MARKET WITH LAST YEARS WHICH WAS A UNUSUALLY BRISK YEAR FOR RESIDENTIAL SALES. SO LAST YEAR THE NEWS WAS "RECORD SALES", THIS YEAR "SALES PLUMMET". LETS GET REAL.

Vicki- Unfortuantely the media sensationaizes any news- The sad part is that if it is reported there are people that take this to heart. There is not much good news that is reported. We have to keep pointing out the positives to in some way balance the media.

Vicki - You are so right.  they make me sick the mainline, drive-by media.  Except for today the Boston Herald did a great article and I did a blog on it.  I almost passed out.  The Boston Globe hardly ever has anything positive to say.  I never buy the papers.  Just check online and at work because they bite the hand that feeds them.  They don't anything about real estate.  I say, "Ask the pros."

This is the problem ---- the media.   All they are accomplishing is getting potential buyers into panic mode---they are just killing consumer confidence.  We all know that the market is not as bad as the media says it is, but not easy to get that across to buyers!

I sure would like to call out these media personalities...and possible file a lawsuit for slander, and then sue them for hurting sales and my income... pay up for their mouth!  You know that if we filed a class action lawsuite against the media, that would really get some NEWS out and then they would have to prove how bad it is, imagine the fireworks.

They have talked negative about the real estate market for 3 years straight now never telling the story that real estate is local in nature.  I will be glad when hey change their tune and pick on somebody else.

Bad news sells, right? That's why Realtors are needed, especially educated Realtors. Now your market, educate your clients.
