And Now For The Good News...!

Okay, if you are anything like me, then you try to limit your daily dose of news to just enough to keep you informed but not enough to drag you down. Some days that means just checking in on the entertainment happenings. If this is what it takes to stay upbeat and therefore go on with business as usual, then so be it. I make no apologies for that. So, in honor of my belief in a creative attitude, one in which I create my own reality, I'm going to deliver you a dose of the good news going on locally and around the world in the sphere of real estate.

• Zillow announced that 10 out of 142 declining markets have seen at least three consecutive quarters of SMALLER year over year home value decline
• NAR (National Association of Realtors) says the real estate market is moving
• 30% of homes in the U.S. are owned free and clear
• 96.7% of homes with mortgages are NOT in foreclosure
• Housing affordability is at its best level in 30 years
• NAR reports 2nd quarter sales up 4% nationwide
• REAL Trends Housing Market Report said that June closings were the best in 3 years when compared to the same month last year and it expects July and August to be up as well

Hope these few statistics remind you that we still do live in America, the greatest country in the world were not only anything is possible, but that out of difficult times history has proved us again and again to create a magnificent country. I do not expect the challenges we currently face to be any different today.
