It is no surprise that consumers today are shopping around. Why wouldn't you? With the mortgage industry taking such a hit on its reputation, it only makes sense.

Local Banks and Lenders - 10/21/08 03:23 PM
I have read a few good articles lately about our local economy and our local banks. Despite all the gloom and doom out there, this community is holding on pretty well. I am taking the data reported in these publications to be accurate, but from the looks of it we are pretty stable! Our Nation's large banks and financial institutions have bee reeling, but Mid-Missouri Banks remain strong.There are always exceptions and some are stronger than others, but this is normally the case. For the most part local banks stuck to traditional lending practices and are not faced with the tough … (0 comments)

Who Will Be Our Next President? - 10/16/08 12:21 PM
We all know that the Presidential Election is fastly approaching. Last night was the final of 3 debates. In my opinion it was by far the best. The questions asked were the most relevant and there was much more back and forth. Based on polls and viewer's response it looks pretty clear that voters could care less about the back and forth bickering and name calling. We care about the issues and most importantly the economic crisis. No matter who you are for, I think most can agree that Barack Obama was dead on when he brought up this point. Americans … (0 comments)

Unless you have been hiding out in a hole, you are aware of last weeks historic drop in the stock market! We saw a 20+% drop! I guess everyone had a really good weekend, because upon the news of a worldwide effort to shore up banks investors decided to pour in on! The market surged 936 points (11%)! Now that is what I am talking about! This is apparently what investors have been looking for. This morning we have seen even more of an increase and at the moment we are up 146 points. The Dow sits at 9534, but I … (0 comments)

One Frustrating Loan Scenario! - 10/07/08 10:37 AM
If you have followed our blog recently you probably have noticed us venting more often than we probably should. This blog was started to provide helpful information to our readers. In the past we have added numerous daily posts that offer some great content and insight into the mortgage and real estate market. Lately, we have focused more on the woes of the economy and how this impacts mortgages and real estate. These woes have led to all the frustration and the following is an example that clearly illustrates how goofy this mess is!In early July I started working on a … (0 comments)
