So we've been talking about media spin and selling news. here are two articles from the same publication, same day and opposite views.

The really sad part, this is a real estate news source and many agents use it for knowledge.

Best advice, get real facts, apply common sense, look at your housing area and price range and hire excellent help from a real real estate professional.

Comparing these articles, what are your thoughts or opinions? How do these two theories apply to you and your housing market?

Compared to the last two days reading, this article is probably the most comprehensive and nearest to the truth of today's real estate markets. It really does not handle the why or might or will issues in the market, but it gives a good static opinion good for today only.....

Part 2:

Today's article is the negative to yesterday.

This article is technically correct, but also misleading and sold with prior agenda in place.

Much of the media today looks at micro markets or segments and attempts to make points. While these points may work for that micro market, the real question is do they apply to the market as a whole or the segment you want to buy or sell in? Worse, many of these media stories have alterior motives and are acutally there to simply create fear for other reasons.

Interestingly enough, not only do we see this trend in market forecast; we also saw it over the past 5 years in inflation data, jobs data and the recently in the housing foreclosure market data.

This makes buying and selling real estate tough today. You need a very knowledgeable, experienced and dedicated real estate professional to assist you. Contact us, one of ours can help.

America's real estate market was set for a hot summer homebuying season. Then rising mortgage rates and the Iran war dashed everyone's hopes.

The question on everyone's mind is what will the housing market do?

The answer is not so simple. It requires real market experience, beyond the last 10 years, and dedication.

The lore from media (broadcast, digital and print) is not really helping and often misleading or outright wrong.

The issue is and always has been Supply and demand, location, and price range. It is a complex issue that requires truly knowledgeable and experienced real estate professionals or economists to understand. It works best when these professionals do not have another agenda to push first. Truth and facts should always rule, but as the media has shown us over the last 10 to 12 years, spin sells news better.

Unfortunately decisions based on spin are rather expensive unless you just get lucky. We saw an object lesson on this in 2007 to 2010. Question is did we learn? The media did not, but did you?

Today and tomorrow lets look at two news stories to see my point. They both are correct, although one is more correct than the other, and they both are wrong. It simply depends on the market segment they are using to prove their point.

Today the positive video and slightly more accurate story.

National Association of Realtors chief economist Lawrence Yun explains his optimistic 2026 housing market forecast and more on ‘Making Money.’

Interesting. Contact us and we can help you resolve this issue.

As housing prices continue to increase overall, your cost of the interest should probably not be your primary concern. Your primary concern should be what the delay in purchase will cost in purchase power.

Remember Housing is Supply and Demand based. We have an established inventory shortage, any demand increase causes the price to increase too.

Along with yesterday's story, lets complete the picture somewhat.

What housing markets have the greatest risk? Read this story and find out, but you should already know this or be able to figure it out on your own.

If you do not know or can not figure it out on your own, then you should seek either quality and knowledgeable education or Professional real estate help.

This list does not change much and there are simple reasons why. Remember understanding real estate markets are how you make money and save money.

Does predatory rental policies exist, Yes. Is this particular person creditable, questionable.

Should predatory rental policies be eliminated, YES! We all deserve a fair chance at acquiring housing within reason, lately the issue is what that reason is.

House is not a right as frequently touted, but a earned benefit that you pay for.
