5 Biggest Real Estate Myths
I love when I get good blog fodder from my Tweeps! This Today Show video was sent to me by Russ Perlowski and is one of those that applies to all markets and is good information to provide to our real estate blog readers (no matter how local your blog is).
5 Biggest Real Estate Myths:
- Sellers are desperate
- Don’t buy before prices have bottomed
- You can’t buy a home unless you have 20% down
- Now’s the absoulte worst time to sell
- Before you refinance, shop around.
Brief and to the point – I especially like number 1 – we are seeing a lot of buyers assuming that sellers HAVE to be desperate because their house is empty, because it’s been on the market for a while or worse yet, just because they choose to sell in today’s market.
Start spreading the news...

Any way we can magically package your post and carpet drop it for a fleet of low flying Helicopters?
Thanks.
LOL ken! you are a hoot!
Thanks for sharing, Ines. I’m going to post this vid on my site if you don’t mind.
normally these shows crush a true perspective…
I’ll second ken’s idea for the helicopter delivery of this message!
Hey Ines,
Excellent post.
Ken, Helicopters are a good idea, but this needs an On-The-Street movement. Did you hear that Realtor Community?
I think we should all post on our blogs and begin the helicopter efforts

Great find, this is a great video to share with the public. I agree with those above, get this video in front of both buyers and sellers!
Excellent Video. The more we can manage expectations, the better.
My helicopter has departed the helipad and is presently dropping this message in my neighborhood. Translation: I liked it so much, I posted it on my blog, too along with a little commentary specific to my market. Thanks for the advanced permission.
Sam – bunny thing is that I also asked Russ for permission and his response was “Ines, It’s in the public domain, so feel free to use it. That’s why I sent it to you”
I meant to say “funny” – not “bunny” – I SWEAR!
