As a real estate agent, one of the first things you should do is learn to ignore all those housing market reports that come out so frequently. This might seem like silly advice but consider this. The housing market is like the weather and if you live in Orlando, Florida, do you really care what is happening in Fargo, South Dakota? Unless your granny lives there, the answer is probably “no.” If the weatherman came on and reported that the average temperature in the United States today is 65 degrees, does that help at all? Probably not.
