Obviously Wall Street has been in the news recently and most of the things that have been going on have made investors leery of the trust factor (of Wall Street). 

Helping Real Estate

Obviously when things like this happen people tend to have more confidence in the real estate market then they do investments.  In the long run this will help people purchase more real estate even though in the short run we have been effected because people’s investments have been so low that they don’t have the money to purchase. 

People Believe in Real Estate

The advantage of buying real estate is that people get to make the decision them-self.   They pick out the property they like and they feel better about their investments. 

In the past, more people have invested in Wall Street because they felt these were “professionals”.  But the erratic behavior and dishonesty of several people have hurt Wall Street as a whole, even though there are bad real estate agents just like there are bad stock brokers.  Recently the bad stock brokers have been getting more publicity than bad real estate agents. 

Obviously the greed on Wall Street is bad for everybody.  I’m not saying I’m glad it happened but I do think it is going to make people more conscience that one of the best investments they can make is real estate.
