Weigh-In #5 - Ken - 07:25 AM
Well, it was a pretty disappointing weigh-in. I acutally gained 3.6 lbs. To look on the positive side I'm still down a net of 4.2 but after a month that isn't much.
I know what did it, though. Super Bowl Sunday and a few other days I cheated a bit. Super Bowl Sunday had a workshop at my church that had a lunch of high calorie, high fat items like those wraps you get at Costco, potato chips and cookies. The Super Bowl party I went to had tacos, chips, hummus, and all kinds of sweet stuff. Luckily, I don't do … (3 comments)

I Love It When FSBOs Price Their Homes WAAAAAY High - 07:37 AM
I recently got a request from someone in an area I market religiously. It seems they wanted to know what the final price and concessions were for a house I sold in their neighborhood recently. They also mentioned that they has put their home on the market as a FSBO.
Now, I'm not sure whether they were really looking for pricing/comp information so they'd be in the ball park or if they thought they were just trying to get the word out that their home was on the market and would I please find them a buyer. Perhaps they're just testing … (7 comments)

Layer Cake - 07:56 AM
A while back I wrote a blog on the occurrence of air stratification in homes. This is when warm and cold air layer in a room. Recently I came across a classic example of this during an energy audit. The infrared image at the right very distinctly shows how the air has layered in this room. The temperature difference between the ceiling and the floor, over 15 º F.
The second infrared image shows the same occurrence in a connected room.
The reasons for this happening are for one physics and the other poor installation of the heating ducts.

URGENT Letter from Gary, Mo, Mary & Mark to Keller Williams Real Estate Agents - 01:03 PM
Dear KW associates -
This week may prove to be a truly historic one in our industry.
As we write to you, the Fix Housing First Act of the Senate's Economic Stimulus Bill is currently being debated. This Act includes a $15,000 tax credit for homebuyers that has already verbally been passed. Also on the table is a provision to lower 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rates down to 4-4.5 percent for eligible homebuyers.
As members of the real estate industry, we must take action today in support of these measures that could become catalysts for the recovery of the housing … (1 comments)

If you are from Baltimore, What will you do (if anything) if he decides to leave the Baltimore Ravens for the money?

Housing Bill Stimulus Plan Update! - 07:19 PM
There have been lots of rumors circulating everywhere and anywhere about how the new stimulus plan is going to affect home buyers and sellers. The best rumor that I heard so far (In My Opinion) is that the latest bill contains a provision that allows a person who purchases a home within the next year to earn a $15,000 tax credit that does NOT have to be paid back as long as certain conditions are met. I have not seen any language that it only applies to first time home buyers as of yet and have not heard if it has … (3 comments)
