Joe Manausa, MBA presents Housing Market Bottom Reached In Tallahassee posted at Tallahassee Real Estate Blog, saying, “It is obviously premature to call the bottom of the market, as we only have a 10 day up-trend. If this ends up being the true real estate market bottom in Tallahassee, you can record August 23rd, 2009 as the day the market turned! I really suspect that we are closing in on the bottom if we have not hit it already. My earlier predictions were for this to occur in November, but I’ll certainly take an earlier result if we can find it.”

It’s also a means to an end. Without a thoughtful and specific objective, the means can get awfully foggy and the end can be less than useful. When I first began my journey into sustainability, I built a compost tumbler that taught me a lesson about simplicity that has transcended more than just my environmental goals.”
