It's hard to strike a balance between something that will be interesting for both agents and consumers. I used to comment more on the market, but now it's so doom and gloom day after day I've pretty much stopped doing a daily update of the latest depressing figures. I don't think people need another place to read it, and of course there's an element of not wanting to upset the agents...and I guyess there lies the problem. Bloggers in our sector are in an unusual situation of 'having to please' (to some extent) both agents and consumers...and in reality the two don't often read from the same page.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
