Stop the madness

I'll swear it is getting even worse. Realty professionals and mortgage lenders tell me every day how challenging the market is. Yet, the realty associations and boards seem to be leading the way in publishing the negative news.

The more they tell people about the decline in home sales, the more they help consumers to lose interest in buying. If this were "my" association, I'd be at every meeting asking questions.

Again, without trying, here are stories I have come across while checking the industry news within the past 24 hours:

So how do these stories make me want to contact a realty agent today?
