I do not intend to contribute to “the culture of fear being propagated by the media,” with respect to the housing market. Economics, and the housing market especially, are susceptible to the psychology of the participants – in this case buyers and sellers.
The “doom and gloom” stories sell as well as, if not better than, the “market is booming” stories did. My intention is to provide candid, un-spun analysis of the Charlottesville/Central Virginia area real estate market, and those “things” that impact it. My goal is to inform and educate. If I should ever stray from this goal, please let me know.
Read about all the postings on the Charlottesville market here.
I also don’t want to get the track record and loss of credibility that the National Association of Realtors have (archived: 2007).
