Prior to the Orange County Register article running on Tuesday signaling year over year demand was way up (directly from the Market Time Report), the story was posted on the OCRegister.com website on Monday. From the story on their website on Monday, I received a call from KABC Channel 7 News and a TV van was parked in our lot by 1 pm taping a story about the wave of first time home buyers to be aired at 5 pm. I also received a call from Vikki Vargas and she had questions about the first time home buyer wave for a story they were doing from the article on the KNBC Channel 4 News at 5 pm. I also received a call from KNX1070 news radio and was interviewed by Jim Thorton and Diane Thompson regarding the increased demand and wave of first timers for the afternoon drive. To cap off the day, I was interviewed by the Wall Street Journal regarding a story that they were doing about first time buyers. Needless to say, for a couple of days this week, there was good news regarding the real estate market here in Orange County. The stories have quickly changed since then to the number of foreclosures during the first quarter in the Southland, but Monday illustrates that the media is tiring from all of the negative news. By the way, I have a slew of great emails from all of the news agencies and I will be sending them the Market Time Report as well. Below is the link to the story that caused all of the commotion.
