Okay - is this really necessary? I write pretty frequently on my Colorado Springs New Homes Real Estate blog about the difference between optimism and pessimism, about the extravagance of the media in some cases in perpetuating overblown ideas of the real estate market slump, and all that. All those to me are legitimate ways of looking at what we are in the middle of, so to see something like this is uncalled for:
“Home sales bring to mind great depression”
Sorry? Come again? Is that headline really necessary, really the best way to write a story? Well that’s not the worst of it. Read into the story and you find out this isn’t the media’s doing but is instead based on information from Lawrence Yun, the National Association of Realtors’ chief economist.
Yun “said it was likely the country has not experienced a decline in home prices for an entire year since the Great Depression.” All right, facts are facts, so give us the facts. But making a comparison like this doesn’t help our situation, Mr. Yun; saying things like this fuels the media’s fire and gives us headlines like this and causes the public to become even more wary of participating in the real estate market, even if they are in genuine need of buying or selling and even though now is as good a time to buy as any, especially in the Colorado Springs New Homes area.
I must say I am frustrated today by this story, but now that I have expressed that frustration I will look past it and continue to maintain my positive outlook and work hard to do my part to encourage and help the local market turn around. Thank you.
