Rhinebeck Market Report - 09:10 PM
We are now more than three quarters into 2007 and the Rhinebeck area still has a good amount of active listings.
The lowest price listing is: $37,000
The highest price listing is: $4,200,000
There are 12 accepted offers, 8 properties in contract,
25 properties were sold.
Lowest:$ 68,000
Highest:$ 2,685,000
Most of the sold properties were sold for less than the listing price.  Only one property was sold at listing price, and one above listing price.
There was one new construction that was reduced to almost half; a drop of $585,650. This is not typical, so, buyers should not expect to find bargains like this.

A Cash Offer..Cross Your Fingers - 10:21 AM
 
I have been waiting for 9:00 AM since yesterday. There is  an  argument to be made that I have been waiting for 9:00 AM since 18 months, 2 weeks and 4 days ago. Thats when I first listed this beautiful 5 acre parcel with the 2200 sq ft custom mobile on it.
Have you had a home (mobile or not) that you have shown, have shown so much that you know more about the features of this home more than your own house?? Have you been to a listing so many times that the neighbors stop and ask when the you … (8 comments)

How do I insert pics Mike?? - 08:45 PM
 
 I just want to you all to know that I have learned a little about inserting pics into the blog. I have even went on a search of pics, and thinking about how I might use them. My next phase will be to learn to inset market reports, links and some of the widgets that i have been playing with. I love the way some of the listings are being presented, so much more interactive and user friendly. I saw one thing yesterday on a blog called flier widget. I really like that little jewel...This will take you to Sandy's site! … (7 comments)

Consumers...are you flipping houses or are you flipping hamburgers? - 08:31 PM
I am not tying to offend anyone but I want help stop any more people from making a terrible mistake by getting involved in a very difficult situation. 
There is a big game that you can play out there in Real Estate land. You can either play the game hard or you can play fair. It is called house flipping. There is the major leagues and the minor leagues. You can choose your destiny if you play right. But if you play with the big boys you better be able to play at all time.
It's not a game for everyone but there are different levels of … (20 comments)

Real Estate Investors - Payers or Players? - 11:15 AM
Ok, I'll admit it.  Most every time I hear about Real Estate investment seminars, I think about a guy or gal with half a bag on and no job watching late night TV at 2 in the morning....listening to somebody tell them that they can be a millionaire in just 3 short days if they buys his DVD, Book, or attends the seminar. Never work another day in their life and live in the lap of luxury. Who cares about bad credit, lack of assets, personal compatibility with the real estate investing game, and the like? All they have to do is pay … (9 comments)

Why Inspect a home? - 08:20 AM
The other day, I wrote a post about a home I inspected -  It's a Dead Deal.  I was looking at it and thinking that i was proud that my report had made the buyer re-think his decision to buy the house.  Now, I must tell you, I DON'T try to influence that decision, nor do I go looking for defects in a house. 
My mindset, when i arrive for an inspection, is to learn everything I can about that home, so that I can pass that knowledge on to my client.  In my mind, he or she has already bought … (8 comments)

Blackberry Users - 09:40 AM
I am a heavy user of my Blackberry.  I am on it, perhaps a little too much.  I found a great little tool.  So, I thought I would share it. 
Just released.  Kinda like google maps.  Looks good.  Live Search for BlackBerry is the best way to find key local information when you're on the go. Whether you're traveling for business, shopping around town, or planning your night out, you can quickly find businesses and restaurants, get turn by turn driving directions, and view it all on interactive maps.

"The Referral of A Lifetime" Cliffnotes Version - 09:07 AM
The Referral of a Lifetime: The networking system that produces bottom-line results...Every Day! by Tim Templeton
Do you like yourself? 
Wouldn't it be great if you could increase your performance by "just being you?" Never mind trying to imitate someone else. Just be yourself...work the talents you were innately given and never have to "sell" again.  
Do you like your product/service?
It's not only about "making money." I mean sure, business is business and we need to earn a living and support the lifestyles we each want to support. But in order to do it successfully, you need to love what you do!

Pasadena Mortgage Rates Report: October 17, 2007 - 09:27 PM
Mortgage Bonds are modestly higher; remember...
Bonds Rates Up = Interest Rates Down   |   Bond Rates Down = Interest Rates Up
That brings us to our point...
It's time to start floating those loans! We should be watching mortgage rates in Pasadena drop lower these next 3-7 days. Do not lock in your mortgage rate at application; lower rates may be here next week.

Opportunities in a Down Market - 07:22 PM
    HEY  YOU! YEAH YOU!
MY BOYS INFORM ME THAT YOUSE HAVE BEEN REPORTING THE DEATH OF THE MARKET. WE WILL BE TAKING NAMES OF THOSE REPORTING THIS PHENOMINA.
Business is doing well here, not so well for the property owner, all things considered. The object of the real estate agent is to create a market just like a New York Stock Exchange facilitator. At present there are opportunities for investors, lenders and owners to take advantage of current incentives.
These down turns are not new and many participants have profited from these circumstances in the past. Stop crying about spilt milk and jump … (1 comments)
