It is what we are being told by the media. Reality is, my daughter in law is a Realator in San Jose, CA and just moved there in the last 6 months and has now 2 offers in escrow and presented 2 offers this last week end. I am not saying that the market is coming back but it is not as bad as the media says. The news is just that, news. It is what we are being told by the media.

Because it is "Media", not "News Media"; (Long ago, when I was young, actual news items provided the Who, What, Where, When and Why of the story. That is no longer taught as necessary in Journalism schools, as it gets in the way of furthering the Media's agenda. I challenge anyone to show me a news article or broadcast story with all those components); 2. Bad "news" sells; 3. It's an election year. The media is supporting the politicians trying to convince us that The Sky is Falling, and of course if we will simply elect them, they will bring about Great Change and create many new government programs to relieve us of the need to be personally accountable for our own lives. They will gladly take over and make all those tough decisions for us (they know we're not smart enough on our own, after all, being the bitter gun-toting, God-fearing simple folks that they say we are). In return, they fully expect us to be dependent upon them to the extent that we keep voting for them in perpetuity. News Business? Extinct. A real news story would not twist itself inside out to take positive news and spin it, as if by magic, into a negative. End of rant; Next question, please. "The most outrageous lies that can be invented will find believers if a man only tells them with all his might."

1. Because it is “Media”, not “News Media”; (Long ago, when I was young, actual news items provided the Who, What, Where, When and Why of the story. That is no longer taught as necessary in Journalism schools, as it gets in the way of furthering the Media’s agenda.

Why are you so optimistic about it? <strong>Hi Ernest - there is a lot of very positive evidence I see - both statistical and anecdotal. Here's an anecdotal one: A very significant portion of the "negative" news about the real estate market that has been reported in the last 30-60 days has been composite information about last year and the first quarter of this year. Why? The negative news has been decreasing and lots of positive news has become available. But this doesn't do as well in the news business, so it gets less attention. Go backwards in my blog a bit and you'll see other positive news items that back me up. And I'll share more in the future, too. -- <a href="http://www.BryanEllis.com" rel="nofollow">Bryan Ellis</a></strong> I’m not so sure about improvement in the economy yet.
