The media has definitely made a point...all of our financial woes must be tied to the real estate market right? If the greedy lenders/investors hadn't taken advantage of the unrealistic expectaions of the home buyer ($500K home with no money down on a salary of $50K per year) then we would be in good shape. Well maybe the tycoons on Wallstreet cooperated and the Commodities Markets contributed a bit, but really our whole economy is tied to housing...jobs, GNP...EVERYTHING?!
Based on this premise I am in a very powerful industry....so if that is the case then why can't we change the perspective? What if the realtors and the media were to work together to help the economy rebound?
What might happen if the media SHARED the secret with the masses?, What would happen if the public KNEW that this, in fact, is a terrific time to buy real estate?? (Donald Trump is BUYING). What would happen if lenders leaked their secret...that money is AVAILABLE IF you have good credit, a stable income, Lastly, what would happen if, in addition to having a place to make memories and shelter families, homes were recognized as good LONG TERM investments?
WHAT IF media, for one short week agreed to work towards jump starting the housing market so that our economy could pick up some speed? What if the perception was that REAL ESTATE is a good place to put your money was spun in the positive way that it should be? "By golly", I think we'd have some winners!
