Well I am hearing from my fellows realtors in the Desert and from what is happening with me (I sold two properties in two weeks!!) that it is not all that bad and that we just have to stop paying attention to the media.I really do not understand why the media are keeping on creating this bad “ambiance” and pulling down the moral of all the potential buyers out there.There is a whole part of the America that wants and needs to buy a home (whether it is a primary residence or a second home) and the wrong information is being given. Yes there is a problem in real estate but relating only to part of the home owners out there.Not everybody is in trouble and not everybody is going towards foreclosure.I can tell you that people are still looking at properties that they can buy cash and because of false information the media are giving …they ask us realtors to write very low offers which of course are not accepted because not all the sellers are in despair. We need to see the people get out of the panic and the stopping from  spending money, put back money in the system and slowly get the economy rolling again. Do you think the same out there?
