Ok so there are new conflicting reports out there from the NAR, the state of Wisconsin, and other purely speculative resources stating that home values are down as much as 33% and volume is down at least that much. My attitude has always been to give the consumer what they really want, which is the truth. Honestly I believe that no one, and I mean NO PERSON really truly knows the depth of the real estate devaluation swing, because its not over. Economic indicators have been up, however, up on a microscopic level undetectable by all. In fact I think Timothy Giethner is the only one that can tell with his ever so soft feel for the global economic pulse.
Real Estate is going to continue to be soft, YES I SAID SOFT. And I will say that some agents are experiencing some what of a busy period, prices are down, and so are closings so if your agent or real estate company is telling you how great things are back away slowly until your far enough away to turn and run. Unless your completely ok with being lied to, which according to what is happening in other sectors of society right now is probably most of you!!

Search Marketing on the other hand is fairing much better than real estate right now with a modest 8% growth rate industry wide. Makes sense too because everyone who owns a business needs a website and EVERY WEBSITE NEEDS SEO. Its the same is restaurants, every one needs to eat...Well every site needs visitors. Got yours?
