Perception is Reality...or Is it?

Well, everyone knows the old saying, "Perception is Reality" and that is the case with the real estate market here in Florida. I keep reading all these reports, from this expert and that expert and they all say the same thing: "The Tampa market is stable and is in good shape". But here is the kicker...if people think that the market is bad, then the market will be bad, plain and simple.

Don't get me wrong, people are still out there buying, and there are some great deals to be had, but if you think the market is bad, then it must be bad. Well, not so. I know that there is a lot of mixed reports out there coming from all the news agencies saying the housing market hasn't hit bottom. But keep in mind, that each state/market is different and that the Market in MA for example is very different than the market in CA, as is with Florida.

So lets try to change the "perception" and lets all put together our collective thinking caps and lets "think positive" so that everyone suffering from losing their homes can have some piece of mind, and at the same time, the people buying get a great deal. That way, everyone is happy!
