New Orleans! What is a buyers market in New Orleans Real Estate - 11/26/08 08:51 PM
Buyer's Market in New Orleans Condos? More than just one factor is involved? There are several factors that make this a New Orleans Condo buyer's market. A Buyer's Market is when the buyer has the upper hand in negotiations and pricing. Many buyers go to the side line when times are uncertain but that is the time when you can actually get some good buys across all price ranges. Low Interest Rates are a big factor. There is plenty of money to lend to people that have good credit at some very good interest rates. The rates are around 6% which (6 comments)

New Orleans Condo Fees? Who pays for the insurance? Most asked Question! - 11/15/08 06:59 PM
New Orleans Condos- What do condo fees Cover? Most often asked question? Who pays the Insurance? I get this important question asked about condos very often. Who pays for the homeowners insurance? Many buyers are surprised to learn that the condo fees cover property and casualty insurance on the individual condo and common areas. I always think people know this but lets talk about it a little more in detail. In order to get a loan from the lender, they will make sure the condos have the proper insurance to protect their investment. If the condo is in a flood zone then it is required (2 comments)
New Orleans Condos-How much do I offer off the Sales Price? - 11/11/08 09:49 PM
How much is this New Orleans Condo worth? What should my offer be? An experienced agent will tell you, its not what the seller's are asking. But more what the condo is worth. The seller may not be asking the correct price! So its not how much off that you can get of the asking price. If a seller is more than 10% over the correct price the condo will get stale and lose its shopability. They may not know how to figure out the value or may just want to see if it gets more. There are many variables when pricing a (1 comments)
Ford and GM on the brink? Of What? - 11/10/08 12:07 PM
They are escentially going out of business as we know them. The government bailoout will be the last straw. Filing bankruptcy would be the smart thing to do giving them time to restructure and become a vaible force again. There are just too many car manufacturers for cars being bought. These companies make things people are not willing to buy. Is this another Amtract or Post Office. Politics and business means not much will change. What is you feel? Another bailout and then another. Are you ready for a National Auto Company?
