Article Review: AP – Construction of new homes plummeted in April – REALLY????

This a good article from a home builder. The way the media portrays the real estate business is just another voice in your head preventing you from making your valuable investment. This blog lets you know that these myths need to be put rest. Real estate is still alive and well and the key to financial freedom. All you have to do is take that first step.

 

AP – Construction of new homes plummeted in April – REALLY????

The influence of the media has a HUGE effect on how consumers understand the housing market.  The problem is that the majority of the time the media gives the wrong message.

I came across an article today by the Associated Press with a headline reading “Construction of New Homes Plummeted in April.”  The problem with this headline is that when you actually read the whole story, they clearly indicate that the FACTS showed the following:  “Home construction activity was uneven across the country. It fell 23 percent in the South and nearly 5 percent in the Northeast but rose almost 4 percent in the West and nearly 16 percent in the Midwest.” Yet the author opted to run with a headline that completely misrepresents the FACTS about home construction.

Obviously if you live in the Midwest you love the fact that new home construction rose nearly 16 percent!!!  Granted, if you live in the south the news of new construction dropping 23 percent is not something you were hoping to hear.  BUT the bigger point is how the media can manipulate the perception of what is truly happening to the housing market in our country.

We MUST understand how the housing market works and realize that it’s our job/duty to ensure that the consumer understands the FACTS about the most important real estate market – their own.  If you are in the real estate or housing industry, do your part to spread the word on the reality of your market, good or bad.  BUT stop letting individuals who don’t understand the facts and reality, guide and mold your lively hood in a direction that only serves their well-being.

The media is a tricky animal and if left unchecked it will prolong the misperception of the real estate market.  I firmly understand that the market is not a rosy picture, but I also know things are improving and both sides of the story MUST be accurately represented.

The mark of a really great company is how they handle problems with their customers. I had a problem with property that I purchased recently, unforeseeable for both myself and Lands Sales, and asked if I could switch to another property. The entire process took less than 20 minutes and I was very happy with how it was handled; finally a company in America that cares for its customers.

I feel fortunate to meet people like them who live their lives by strong principles. I would highly recommend Land Sales Company to anybody who has ever dreamed of owning their own property or looking to become wealthy. Thank you again! Please accept my deep appreciation. You are definitely a company that people can trust.

My wife, Kristin and I purchased several properties from Land Sales Company within the last few years. It has always been an easy process; much easier than any other company we have worked with. The paperwork was and is always very clear and easy to understand, and any time we need to call customer service, we always get a friendly person, and get all of our questions answered. We recommend Land Sales Company to anyone looking to buy a property with a great location, reasonable down payments, small monthly payments, and great customer service.
