I think the current NAR TV commercial with the family sitting on the fence - asking "What are we waiting for?" is the message we should keep sending. I realize ALL REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL, but it would be nice if the national media talked a bit more about how the historially low interest rates, the fact that banks CAN still loan money, and the great selection of homes, make it a perfect time to buy! I'm very thankful to be in Ames, Iowa where our job and real estate market is stable. That's one great thing about living in the midwest!

Michelle,
I think most of the media loves to report the negative. A few years ago they reported how hard it was to find homes that weren't in a multi-offer situation and that if you can you should wait, real estate is only good if you are a seller.
Well, now they report how bad the real estate market is for sellers and how house values have dropped and it is only good if you are a buyer. But, they really only dwell on how bad it is.
