Rent or mortgages have not been paid in months and the inevitable happens...eviction! What happens to these possesions people can't or won't haul out of their dwellings? Scavengers ransack the spoils and the rest blows in the wind. We can only surmise where the people fled and how they are now living. It's a vicious clycle; buyers or renters lose their jobs and can't pay to stay. Landlords need their rent money to make payments or risk losing their property. Just look at what … (22 comments)

mortgages: I Didn't Ask For You To "Show Me The Money", I Said "Show Me You Can Get The Money!!" - 07/22/10 06:35 PM
I was reading several blogs this morning and the one Judi Barrett with Integrity Real Estate wrote on Homebuyers needing to get qualified: " Home Buyers, Please Don't be Offended... Just get Pre-Qualified. " stuck with me throughout the day. We all get calls from buyers wanting us to show them houses. Sellers want to make sure their homes are being shown to qualified buyers.

In today's news we are bombarded with negative...negative reporting concerning drastic sliding home prices and mortgages unable to be obtained by consumers. There appears to be no rays of hope ahead! It's hard to understand because in Austin we have steady job growth, lower builder starts ( a whole other issue) but a bustling economy. According to Alamo Title in the month of January our listing inventory is down 32.12% compared to January of 2008. Taking the week of 1/18-1/24/09 there are 10,311 active listings as compared to 10,219 during the same week in 2008. That is only a … (26 comments)
