    I agree with Lenore that our view of senior living is not consistent with how many seniors view themselves. My Mom is almost 87 and certainly not ready to sit in a rocker with nothing to do.

    Wish I could say my market is different but it isn't. Buyers and sellers are caught in the middle of media hype. What doesn't help are agents who are pushing the concept that "the market has bottomed" as appraisals continue to come in low and lenders keep tightening rules while a new wave of foreclosures is on the horizon.
