Times Log

Thursday: One of the articles on the front page of the times directly relates to the localized national story I wrote this week. The article is about the significantly lower amount of Americans that bought real estate this year. This decrease is no doubt a reflection of the recession and the negative effects it has had on the real estate market. The amount of citizens that changed residences in the past year are the lowest since 1962. Indeed, my article is about the discount Vail Resorts has recently offered to attract buyers. However, given the current state of the economy and the outlook, I don't think anyone is going to be shelling out big bucks for housing- no matter how irresistible the location and amenities might be.
