The weekly poll is up and ready for your voting pleasure. Don’t leave it hangin’.

This week’s topic is about Knoxville’s housing market and how well you think its faired the current economic storm compared to the rest of the country. This is a question I get asked ALL the time. There’s no doubt we’re in much better shape than super hard hit areas like Florida or Michigan, but I’m sometimes suprised when I talk to folks who think our market is doing about the same as markets in those places. These people are usually basing that belief on stories they’ve heard from others that may or may not be true. True, sales are down a good bit and so are prices, but I haven’t seen anyone giving away homes for a dollar or offering a buy one get one free deal anywhere around here either.

So what about you? Do you think we’ve fared better than the rest of the country when it comes to real estate? Or do you think Knoxvillians tend to be overly optimistic about the state of our housing market? Case your vote and let me know.
