Nice article. My guess is the slow down is 60 to 70% media hype. But it will take several postive stories/post/articles to make up for one negative slant on the economy.

I get to be the first commenter--now if only I had something profound to say in this comment. I'm hearing from my close association to the RE market that some professional rehabbers (NOT the HGTV wannabes) are back, and testing the waters, a possible early sign that perhaps we've reached bottom here in Old Saint Paul. The demand for homes seems to be increasing, and for buyers who qualify for today's home financing, this is probably a good time to buy. For sellers who originally purchased their house to be a home first, a place to LIVE, and an investment as secondary benefit, AND who have not fallen victim to the equity-as-a-bank account, now may be a good time to sell. The trick, I think, is to get those buyers & sellers together. I purposely used a lot of adjectives and modifiers in this comment--because I really don't know for certain if what I'm saying is certain...but I'm hoping. Just sayin' Wow haverobert! I get to be the first commenter–now if only I had something profound to say in this comment.
