Agreed – so much of the perception of the national economy is dependant on buyer confidence, which is very hard to measure.
Yes I think its a terrible cycle. The media reports about how bad things are, people believe it, and create the bad economy- then things are really bad, people start losing their jobs.
If you believe in something long enough it will be true.
Mary, Great from-the-heart post, and it all rings so true. There is a bad funk going around and our government appears worthless in the midst of it. And this latest tax stimulus package is the biggest joke. I can’t believe all of “our” elected officials bought into it. I would like to get the potential home buyers sitting on the fence to understand that things will get better, and they will be better off if they make a move now. Otherwise, their going to sit on the fence and watch while property values start moving in the right direction again. And they are in many places, but the media chooses to focus on the hardest hit areas, since this type of negative shocking news tends to get our attention more than the positive trends in some markets.
To answer your question, yes, I do think most of America it depressed.
It is tough to keep a positive attitude when everything seems to be going the wrong direction. However, I do think trying to find the good in this market/economy/world is the way to go.
As the life coach Jim Rohn says, “Bad things always happen to everyone, it is how you deal with it that makes the difference.” I always think back to this statement whenever things are not going great. We can either choose to sit back and let things control us, or we can do everything in our power to make things different. I choose the latter, no matter who the President is.
Thanks for the good post.

You were right, it was in a recession according to numbers released recently.
