I was reading a post yesterday and it made me think about a situation when one of my seller clients was sued by the buyer for allegedly failing to disclose a "material fact" aka "latent defect"!

Watching you complete the purchase can teach them valuable information about real estate transactions.
The declining Dollar certainly is making us all think at least twice before deciding to go on a foreign vacation. In fact a smoker friend of mine just came back from the UK where he told me that gas was equal to $10 a gallon and a packet of cigarettes was $15 - not a carton, a pack!
Everyone's talking about the way the market has taken a slide. Is it a real estate bubble? I don't think so. The market seems to have the same trend. About 3 years up and 3 years down. I believe we are closing in on our down cycle and will start to see things balancing out again within the next 12 months. 2008 will bring balance to the force.
