PoppyCock = The National Housing Real Estate Market, Leprechauns, WMDs, Unicorns, etc.

Unicorns, Leprechauns and WMDs are myths...so is the the notion of a National Housing Market. 

Don't read me wrong.  Yes, nation wide housing data can be lumped together like an overweight, crappy tasteing merry Christmas Fruitcake, but guess what?  It's a myth and it's as useful as a Merry Christmas Fruitcake. Real Estate markets are local and hyper-local, period. Don't let the talking media bobble heads and jaded journalists hypnotize you into a depressing, misinformed stupor.  Talk to a trusted, in-the-know, feet on the street, real estate agent about what exactly is going on in your community, neighborhood and street.  It may or may not be what you want to hear, but it will be accurate, meaningful and useful.

Amen brothers and sisters....that's all I have to say about that. For now.

PS.  If you'd like to pursue a passel of real estate market statistics for The Woodlands, Texas, you can download this .PDF.  I'll update these stats over the weekend
