The problem with headlines…

November 30, 2011

By Dick Baker


The problem with headlines…

They rarely convey the whole story, just as the one above does not.  The problem is that most people don’t read far beyond headlines to digest the nitty gritty details they refer to.

Well, they’re at it again.  A headline in Wednesday’s Business section of a local newspaper proclaimed “Region fares poorly as home selling prices drop”. Granted, the local real estate market hasn’t been on fire this year, but our “region fares poorly…”? The body of the article states that our metro area recorded a 3.86% decrease in prices, then two paragraphs later quotes the nationwide drop as 3.7%.  Well, we did underachieve compared to the rest of the nation . . . by sixteen hundredths of one percent.

Clearly our industry faces challenges, primarily due to economic conditions.  But let’s not forget that there is a positive side to declining prices – it is truly a great time to buy!  Not only are prices down relative to recent years, but inventory is high (lots of great houses to choose from) and mortgage interest rates are at fire sale levels historically speaking.  And contrary to myth, mortgage money IS available.

The Toledo Region has many great things going for it, including affordable housing.  For a look at a freshly launched web site describing our region, go to http://toledoregion.com.
