Why is the news so gloomy and all about doom! Just read some of these statements. The media are terriorists

Asked Thu Mar 27 2008, 19:15 by Kellie Risso - All locations - Market Conditions - 11 answers

TJF answered:

Well, let's just call it a truce. I'm not always so fond of the media, either, but the situation is real. Foreclosures have been happening at an accelerated rate. It will all eventually turn around. Meanwhile, as the original responder said, what's happening is out of the ordinary and thus will be reported. It's up to the individual to sift through the hyperbole.

What's more, rather than boycotting the news, it behooves us to seek out quality sources of news. The only way to get better news is to collectively support those that provide it. The public, for the most part, doesn't seem to want that. - Sat Mar 29 2008, 18:17

Sounds like you just need to vent. So, you might as well. I really find it amusing that you have now gone on the attack against realtors based, in part, on my postings. If you look, it says "Just looking in San Jose" next to my profile. I'm not a realtor, but a home owner. I admit I can be terse, but you've gone from attacking the media to attacking realtors now. Who is next? - Sat Mar 29 2008, 16:21

"But in reality the media is putting terror and fear in the minds of all American Homeowners."
- Gee, I own a home and I'm not feeling terrorized. So, it's not all. I bet it is a small percentage and the rest are concerned and/or worried.

"Journalism is not what is was a decade ago."
- Well, neither were cell phones, computers, astronomy ... you get the picture. Harkening back a decade is kind of funny - at least go 20 years back. I've been hearing that journalism isn't what it used to be my entire life. It's an old story and could fill multiple threads.

"I know some of them in our area are waiting tables these days! LOL"
- Hmm. You're just not a nice person, are you? - Sat Mar 29 2008, 14:55

Calling the media terrorists is a gross exaggeration. It's no better than what you are accusing them of doing. It reminds me of those who call anyone they dislike a nazi. Sorry if this seems too blunt, but I just have to call things as I see them. I think the first answer was on target. - Fri Mar 28 2008, 08:40

Do you have to sell? It's a bad time to sell. Keep it. Rent it out if you need to move. - Fri Mar 28 2008, 20:46

TJF answered:

Linda Carroll wrote, "I agree with Karen's answer--don't counter this offer, but have your agent tell the Buyer's agent to bring in a more acceptable offer."

I'm curious. Why do you believe that it is better to have them make another offer rather than counter with something that's more palatable - even the full price? Isn't that risking having the buyer just walk off? Is it so that the seller isn't locked into it if another offer comes along? - Fri Mar 28 2008, 20:01
