Also guys remember… data can be shaped in SO many ways. Was the dataquick information only detached resale or did it include new housing?
Again, I know it is hard to turn a blind eye to the media but try not to let it get to ya. The overall problem is that by far the less informed majority of consumers do not realize this. So what can you do? Keep a cool head. The bigger question is, what is reality then? How do we gauge things. Everyone has different answers. My personal answer is the sales volume, active/pending ratios, cancelled/expireds verses solds… that sort of thing. Keep it simple, keep in confined to the zip code you are in, etc…
