Short Sales & Obama's Foreclosure Prevention Plan - 02/21/09 05:06 PM
My first thought was Hooray!!!  Obama is coming to Mesa, AZ to make a great announcement and roll out a new foreclosure prevention plan and help stem the tide of foreclosures in Arizona and across the country.  Short Sales will go away because people will finally be able to refinance their home and stay in the house, foreclosure rates will slow.

Why To Buy A Home Now - 02/19/09 02:13 PM
If you are currently renting and debating if you should buy a home, you should consider what best selling author, David Bach, says, "The average homeowner is worth 35 times more than the average renter."

Excellent realitsic post from a fellow REALTOR and certainly nothing you will see from the Media
Via Lenn Harley Homefinders.com MD & VA Real Estate:
BUYERS WILL NOT GET OFF THE FENCE! BUYERS WILL NOT PULL THE TRIGGER! BUYERS ARE SO SKITTISH! BUYERS ARE NOT MAKING REALISTIC OFFERS! How often do we read or hear all of the above day after day?  The only folks who will really predict the end of the real estate industry recession or depression, depending on your location, is the NAR or some agents who believe that if they think good thoughts reality will follow.

Arizona's Anti-Deficiency Statues , A.R.S. 33-729(A) and A.R.S. 33-722have been adopted by the legislature are intended so that a homeowner who is unable to make payments on a "purchase money mortgage" should lose no more than their home.
