The Talking (Frog) Realtor- Real Estate Joke - 04/21/08 03:13 PM
Good times, bad times, Agents will be advertising. In good times agents want to advertise; in bad times they have to. Two women were walking through the woods when a frog called out to them and said: "Help me, ladies! I am a real estate agent who, through an evil witch's curse, has been transformed into a frog.

The other woman, aghast, screamed, "Didn't you hear him? If you kiss him, he'll … (2 comments)

Senate Bill Falls Short To a Real Solution - 04/14/08 03:15 PM
According to Christopher Dodd, Chairman of the the Senate Banking Committee, he proposes to move legislation which will assist distressed borrowers, particularly those who owe more money to the bank than what the house is worth and encourage lenders to forgive a portion of the loan and issue new more affordable loans in exchange for the Federal Governments financial backing. In addition there would be tax breaks for homeowners, home buyers, more money for foreclosure counseling, and grant money given to cities to buy foreclosed properties.
There are several critics including myself that think this solution to the banking and foreclosure … (1 comments)

Senior Foreclosures Are On the Rise According to AARP. - 04/14/08 12:33 AM
I recently read an article in AARP magazine devoted to Foreclosures and Seniors. When we think of foreclosure we think about young people, but the young are not the only people being affected by foreclosures.

You might ask how can someone who has lived in the same house for 29 years be in foreclosure? Well, according to AARP more and more seniors are borrowing … (9 comments)

INTERESTING FIRST QUARTER RESULTS FOR EVANSTON IL - 04/02/08 10:16 AM
We just ended the first quarter and it is always interesting to look at the numbers and make assumptions about the  relative strength or weakness of my local real estate market of Evanston IL.
As we all hear the  national news about tumbling real estate prices, large numbers of homes on the market and rising foreclosures  I am always challenged to make sense out this information and see how it applies to my local market in Evanston.  The information I will be sharing with you here comes from my local MLS but the interpretations are strictly my own. I am sure … (0 comments)
