Maybe tone down the smile a little bit

This somewhat dimwitted couple appears to think it's alright to use the same cheery smiles that were much more appropriate when home prices were going up.

For more on their dimwittedness and one more in a long line of reasons why most people in the real estate business should not have blogs, see this exchange with NY Times columnist Floyd Norris:

• Housing History Sends Recession Warning
• Why The New York Times Has Housing All Wrong
• A Positive Spin On Housing

Industrious and cheerful to be sure and clearly far more optimistic than the general public, but not very smart as evidenced by the opening retort to the NY Times piece, "This housing decline is being compared to others in U.S. history, when it clearly is different."

Yes, this time it's different - Mr. Norris is remarkably restrained in his response.
