Why is everyone wanting to throw in the towel and think the whole country is in the dumps.
Wrong.
Parts of the country, have a very low unemployment rate. Others are above 10%. Overall 90% of the people are still working and spending money. They are spending money more wisely, and you need to market more wisely to those with money.
There are areas in the country that have seen big drops in home prices in past 12 months, such as Miami at -39.94% (price drop) Las Vegas at -35.53%, to places like Salt Lake City Ut at 0% change in value, Boston Ma a 0% change, Billings Mt (largest city in state) at 0% change.
These areas also have low unemployment. Market to those areas where people are not running scarred.
Some areas have seen 1 in something like 64 homes being foreclosed in in Las Vegas to Vermont with one in 15,000 plus being foreclosed on. Market to the good areas they are spending money and are not in a panic.
Bad news sells newspapers is the old saying. That is why the news paper s and TV are pitching how bad it is.
Right now quit looking at how bad the country is, as only parts of it are really bad. Others are in good shape and will spend money. Go after the spenders not those in trouble.
