Look to the experts...
What is the saying... something to the effect of "Opinions are like belly buttons - everybody has one". While that may be true, some opinions are based on greater expertise, and these are the ones that matter to me when I advise my real estate clients:
NAR Economist Predicted Higher Interest Rates Would Slow Market - by Blanche Evans, Realty Times Correspondent
Housing Market Returning to Normal - Margaret Kelly, RE/MAX CEO
Two sides of the Coin - David Lereah, Chief Economist
Real Estate's Battle of the Bulge - Ken Fears, Economist
The Forecast - Lawrence Yun, Senior Research Forecaster
Existing Homes Sales Down with Softening Prices - Walter Moloney, National Association of REALTORS.
Market Conditions - Carla L. Davis, Realty Times Columnist
Far better for you to look to experts like these, than to rely on media reports that interpret the experts with their own "spin" - seldom are such articles accurate! Remember, the media needs to sensationalize every story with the goal of catching the attention of consumers and selling newspapers, NOT accurately informing the public.
While I don't pretend to be an economist or an expert, I do know where to find their reports. I try to keep my website up-to-date with Market Trends, so you can always look there for links to reports like you see here - www.MargaretWoda.com.
