Black Friday Where Were You at 3 a.m.? - 11/27/09 09:24 PM
Black Friday, Where Were You at 3 a.m.?
We were in the line at Best Buy in Flagstaff, Arizona.  The temperature was 19 degrees!
I have never experienced getting up and going out to shop quite so early to shop.  It has never been on my list of things to do!  My daughter was going to get a 32 inch flat screen TV and invited me to come.  We had two TV's bite the dust this past month because they were very old... so I seized the moment to go and experience the thrill of shopping on Fun Friday!

A 3 Way In Phoenix!
Have you ever wondered about having a relationship with 3 people or more at a time?

How To Select a Real Estate Agent to Purchase a Home - 11/08/09 04:35 AM
There are four simple reasons the time is right to buy a home NOW!
1.  The inventory to select from is high.
2.  The interest rates are very affordable.
3.  New legislation created a STIMULUS package to encourage home sales.
4. The buyers market could soon be turning into a sellers market. 
 
                                
On November 6, 2009 the President signed an extension for the first-time home buyer credit of $8,000. The legislation also INCLUDED a move up buyers credit for a $6,500.  With basic principles of supply and demand incorporating the stimulus package, the real estate market should get ready to rock again! Today's buyer is going to receive financial advantages to … (57 comments)
