Do you feel like you are in a media induced recession?
If it were not for all of the news I watch on TV or the newspapers and internet news, I wouldn’t think I was in a recession! I don’t live in a bubble, in fact, I live in the Bay Are and I am a Realtor. My phone rings everday with people who want to buy real estate at the new opportune prices and I receive emails each day as well. The malls, Serramonte and The Shops at Tanforan, where we have our real estate kiosks see 1,000s of holiday shoppers all day long and meet PLENTY of people interested in buying buying buying and gas prices have gone down to boot!
I am only one person making my own observation. I have had some hardships as well and DO realize that the economy has slipped but my point is, if we did not have the media would we be so overwhelmed with a recession? My husband is a stay at home dad and our family and friends in San Bruno and the Bay Area are doing ok and I AM GRATEFUL FOR THAT! I just wonder how other people in the Bay Area are doing?

Karin,
100% correct. The power of the media. Bad news sells. We are all aware of it but still cannot change our feelings. We see and hear it so much it is almost like we are being brainwashed.
I know you keep yourself so upbeat. You are an inspiration!!!
Thanks Lee! You are a great example as well. You work hard and make it look so easy!
Karin,
I feel the same way. I’m also a Realtor in the Bay Area and if it were not for the media, I might not know we were in a “recession”. Prices are great, interest rates have been falling, and people are buying. My clients and I find many homes on the market with multiple offer, over asking. I do understand that many have been hit hard by what has been going on with the economy but as Lee said, “Bad news sells”. We just have to keep our heads up and keep working hard, thing are looking up and will continue to get better.
Karin,
Excellent commentary!
