Sad commentary on us all... - 09/28/07 09:59 AM
MSNBC is reporting that O. J. Simpson's book " If I Did It " rose to the #2 spot on the New York Times best selling list ahead of Bill Clinton's book on the importance of giving back, " Giving ". And every time we see Simpson in the news all I hear is people saying how sick they are of O. J. Your thoughts ? … (15 comments)

What do you make of this " tid bit " ? - 09/26/07 01:19 PM
Listening to the morning stock report and the discussion involved the market effects and the housing stocks. Of course, they pointed out the sharp decline . Mormally, during a decline in new home sales people spent heavily in fixing up existing homes. The Lowes CEO said for the first time in his memory people were not investing in current homes during a housing decline. Lowes sales were down by a huge amount.
Seems like people either have zero confidence going forward or they see the end of the correction and are holding off. Interesting.

" We had a good laugh, I hope you did also. … (4 comments)

News Flash: Fed cuts rate more than expected. - 09/18/07 01:27 PM
This just in...watching CNN and they covered the announcement that the Fed has cut the prime rate by .5 % to 4.75%. Part of the equation was the looming $ 50 Billion in ARMs due to reset in the next month. The bond market was expected to react quickly to the greater than expected rate reduction as well as other parts of the economy. This is generally believed to be great news for the economy in general and the housing market in particular. … (4 comments)

The single most important thing about doing it right the first time !!! - 09/17/07 10:50 AM
Hope all of you had a great wekend ! Over the last several weeks I had several " Honey do,,, " things to get done around our house. The kind of things guys want to do ouirselves rather than call a professional and spend a lot of money, those kinds of things. In the course of getting several of the items started and a few of them completed I was reminded of a simple truth when it comes to this kind of thing: Having the right tool for the job means getting it done right the first time ! Now, don't … (3 comments)

Sorry, you can't make me buy !!! - 09/10/07 01:26 PM
I read posts about several basic issues confronting us all:
* Are " Open Houses " worth it ?
* How should we be advertising ?
* What is the most effective form of marketing ?
* When will the market rebound ?
I suggest there is a more basic underlying question. That is: Is there anything we can do to " creat " a buyer? Is there an ad campaign, newsletter, open house gimmick, print ad, web site or well, you see where I am going with this.
My thought is simple: None of the above will make an unwilling consumer suddenly decide … (12 comments)

Michael Vick & Whoopie Goldberg...Whaaat ?? - 09/05/07 09:10 AM
You may have seen on one of the major news shows a review of Whoopie Goldberg's defense of Michael Vick. It took place on " The View " where Whoopie is a host. Seems she felt that because dog fighting is soooo common in the " South " that it shouldn't attract so much attention ! Her remarks includud a " culture " in the south where this is considered acceptable and Vick should be viewed from that perspective. Sorry, Whoopie, you and Vick both owe the decent people in the " South " an apology and more ! … (15 comments)
