Good news gets little press: Tacoma Housing Market #1 in the Nation

Tacoma Housing Market #1 in the Nation

Moody's forecasts 2.44% increase for 2010

How many have heard or read about this? I asked several people in my office if they had heard the news; NOT a one. The reason: good news is not really news. For months and going on years now, we have seen headline after headline grace the front page about the continued fall of real estate, mortgage and the economy in general. But, when news breaks about something good, it remains news but gets lost in the shuffle. So, where was this news lost? Today's paper, business section A8 (a small blurb). It also ran last week disguised as "Home Sales: This is good" by C.R. Roberts; mostly about the rise of pending sales in our area.

Here is an excerpt (almost all of the article) from the Tacoma News Tribune: "Moody’s Economy.com ranks Tacoma at the top of the list among 100 metropolitan areas nationwide. The firm said it expects housing prices to rise 2.44 percent in 2010 in Tacoma. That increase, though modest, compares well with Moody’s national figure, a predicted 7.9 percent decline".

How about this gracing the front page:
