economy: Home Listed for $1.00 on the MLS....thats right, ONE DOLLAR - 08/20/08 12:36 AM
So we all know that in some parts of the country, Real Estate values are holding steady, and in some lucky areas they are even rising (see my recent blog post: 10 Cities w/ Fastest Rising Homevalues), but in some parts of the country homevalues are so depressed that sellers are having a hard time even giving their homes away: Enter the $1.00 Listing I just read an article that literally blew me away (Detroit News: Forclosure Fallout, Houses go for a $1), because it told of how a Bank listed one of its REO properties in Detroit for $1.00

economy: Illegal Immigrants RAISE Homevalues - 08/14/08 12:51 PM
**This is Part 2 of another blog I wrote: 10 Cities w/ Fastest Rising Homevalues....What Can We Learn? In my last blog, I commented on an article by Money Magazine that listed 10 cities with the fastest rising homevalues in the nation. I did some further research, and found something VERY interesting: - only 2 of those 10 cities actually INCREASED in population between 2000 & 2007: McAllen,TX & El Paso, TX.....every other city on the list DECREASED in population between 2000 & 2007 (see here). - McAllen, TX had the HIGHEST 1yr home appreciation forecast of all 10 cities: 4%

economy: 10 Cities w/ Fastest Rising Home Values....What Can We Learn? - 08/13/08 05:58 AM
We all know that home values nationwide are falling, but there are cities where home values are currently stable or even on the rise. But which of these stubborn cities, with home values that refuse to decline with the rest of us, are rising the fastest?.....What can we learn from them? Is there some common trait that sets them apart as Real Estate RECESSION PROOF cities? Below, I've reprinted a portion of a recent Money Magazine article (10 Fastest Growing Real Estate Markets, 05/13/08) which lists 10 cities with the fastest rising home values: McAllen, Texas 12-month forecast: 4% Median
