Honolulu! Stop The Whining & Start Living!
June 24th, 2008 categories: Rants & Riffs
We are our own worst enemy! Believe it or not we drive the economy! If we want it to change, then we need to move our attitude away from pessimism and toward optimism. Maybe I am showing my age, but I lived through recessions in the early 80’s and middle 1990’s and what we are now experiencing is nothing worth crying over. Let’s stop the whining and start being Americans! Change your attitude, take your life by the throat and make it go the way you want it to go!
The Wall Street Journal and other new outlets are reporting that many real estate markets in the U.S. have seen price drops back to those seen in 2005 and 2004.
“Home prices in 20 major U.S. cities have dropped a record 15.3% in the past year and are now back to where they were in 2004, according to the Case-Shiller home price index released Tuesday by Standard & Poor’s. In a separate report, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight said U.S. home prices fell to December 2005 levels during April as the housing downturn continued to affect states at the heart of the real estate boom.”
Last time I checked, 2004 and 2005 were record years in Honolulu! Let’s decide not to participate in the bad news. Go for it!
