Personal thoughts from within the Luxury Real Estate network
By Robert Lockard
Similar to yesterday’s post, I would like to focus on some issues that I hope will show that current real-estate worries shouldn’t frighten buyers, sellers and agents too much. It seems like everything is going wrong right now because that is what we have been hearing over and over in the media. However, according to the RISMedia article entitled “Give Your Clients the Real Facts,” the National Association of REALTORS® is beginning a bold campaign to stem the tide of bad publicity with ads and a new Web site: www.housingmarketfacts.com. Basically, they stress the fact that real estate, and especially luxury real estate, has always been a good investment.
I definitely like this development because it’s good to alleviate some of the fears being spread in real-estate markets around the country. Other bloggers have pointed out to me that real estate is driven by emotions as well as numbers, so simply saying that everything is okay and that the numbers show growth isn’t enough to turn the tide against negativity. But it’s a good start. I hope that people will calm down soon and start focusing on solutions to the real and perceived problems plaguing many real-estate markets. I hope I can be more positive and share some solutions instead of just focusing on problems, as well!
