WHY CAN'T THE MEDIA GIVE HOMEOWNERS & AGENTS A BREAK

When was the last time you heard or read something positive about this country's real estate market? I know that my memory is not as good as it used to be, but DUH, I can't remember when. Houses in my area (Howard County, Maryland) are selling and the market is not the gloom and doom that the media portrays. Buyers can and do get scared to death by the media. They are afraid to buy now and don't know when the right time will be. Prices in my area have adjusted in the last 2 1/2 years, as they had to, or no one could afford to buy a home here. PLEASE, I need something positive for a change. Write or email your local newspaper editor or the local TV station head and tell them "I'm mad as hell and I won't take it anymore!".
