TAX Rebates - Will Someone Tell Me How They are Going to Stimulate the Economy? I know this is election year, so my expectations for true innovation, hope and trust in the government have been turned off by my previous dissappointments. We have been all told the checks are in … (27 comments)
I'm excited. Commentators from all sides of the economic arena are telling us that we may be about to see something we typically only read about in textbooks - real free market supply and demand principles in action and in an important and very visible aspect of our daily lives. Provided the Saudis … (2 comments)
Being a road rep the bus or train isnt really feasible. it would take an entire day just to see a few clients. a bicycle wouldnt do either.it would probably take even more time to see a few clients and i would arrive a disheveled mess. i do however have a motorcycle … (1 comments)
I've been thinking about this post for a couple days. Then, when I saw the gas price at my local Quik Trip jump $.16 in just two days from $3.59 to $3.75, I said, "Self...we gotta do something about this. What is another question."
About half of the territory I work is rural in nature. For you city folks, that means that the homes can be a mile apart and are located on a dirt road. A lot of the homes I list are at least 30-40 minutes from a city and require a map and compass to reach. 
Wow, if you had told me that I would find $3.67 gas a reason to be happy, I'd never have believed it. This morning as I drove by $3.92, $3.88, $3.89, and similar prices, imagine my glee when I found the price at Sam's Club was only $3.67? Too bad I … (16 comments)
This weekend, the Arizona Daily Star ran an article that discussed increasing gas prices possibly affecting the price of homes in the suburbs. In the article, a few homeowners talked about how their cost of commute had drastically increased, impacting their lifestyle. Others spoke of the benefits outweighing the drawbacks. The … (12 comments)
All day and everyday all you here is negative news. This is the only thing they can talk about and the market is feeding of it. It is causing good market areas to suffer and making buyers and sellers to think the world is going to crash. Not all markets are … (8 comments)
Do you remember the TV ad for 'Rolaids' that posed the question...How do you spell relief? Of course, the answer was R O L A I D S!
Who said Southern California people are their own cause for traffic? Is it because so many people drive their own car to work rather than car pool or using mass transit? Please keep in mind that mass transit underground is difficult for us to engineer because of earthquakes.

I love that one commercial when the guy says, I just open up my wallet and say here it is guys, please take it. Ok, I don't think that's an exact quote and I have no idea what they were selling :) however, it seems … (5 comments)
I have come across a small list of powerful websites that will help you in this gas crunch:
I haven't gotten to the point where I am changing my driving habits yet due to higher gas prices. Have you? 
Well, we are here. Rediculous gas prices and getting worse almost daily and it seems that our government doesn't want to help us do anything about it. I don't know about you but the current gas prices are affecting every part of the local economy around here and even though most … (1 comments)
Gas Prices in Tenessee
Some big car manufacturers are touting the use of Ethanol and E85 fuels as a way to save the planet and a "Green Alternative." George Bush was on TV 4/29/08 pushing growing more plant matter for ethanol as a gasoline alternative. On the surface it sounds OK, but in reality the case doesn't add … (5 comments)
I know what you're thinking... You caught me, I'm having a little fun with words. Gas prices are on everyone's minds these days. These record gas prices are affecting every aspect of our economy and quite frankly... I don't think they will stop going up anytime soon.

If you think we have it so bad with the price of gas....check out what they are paying in these 10 countries: 
Starting April 29, 2008 an estimated 130 million U.S. families and individuals will be getting tax rebate checks from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). 
I went into a local gas station and asked for a quick $2 sale of gas. (I did save 10 cents a gallon paying in cash!) Gas prices had gone up 40 cents in the last two weeks said the guy behind the counter. I dont know if he was the … (15 comments)
Or has it ever changed? The more things change the more they stay the same. Times have changed since Abraham Lincoln made this statement however it seems like we haven't learned anything from history. Yes I believe in the free enterprise system and I believe that business should be able to … (11 comments)
There is so much potential in this country to tap into alternative power sources. I have no problem paying someone to harvest and refine the gas, oil or whatever.

Is the only answer. I saw that oil could go as high as $200 per barrel not just a bubble but the growing demand and tightening supplies might make that scary number a reality. Along with carpooling, using the transit system and well walking we could all try "hypermile - ing":"Fuel … (0 comments)

Can you believe it. Understanding that the mortgage industry impacts many different markets, effects housing, trickles into spending..ect. But who would have thought that the industry would be to blame for coffee sold at grande prices. Remember that SB was reformatting their business model prior to the mortgage crunch. 
This is a little off the topic of this blog, but as a real estate agent I put a lot of miles on my car and a lot of gas in its tank. Many people who are house hunting do the same. If you would like to find where the … (0 comments)
I suppose I should preface this by letting you know that I am not a member of either major political party. And just to avoid any confusion, I'm not what you would call a 'moderate' either. Nor am I a politically apathic individual - quite the contrary!My views have just never … (23 comments)
Listening to Glenn Beck today, he talked about what's to come with gas prices. Right now we are feeling the effects of $100/barrel oil. Oil closed at $119/barrel today. We will feel those prices down the road. He was discussing that oil could go as high as $200/barrel very quickly resulting … (2 comments)
Hi Everyone,
Save Time and money by mapping out the most efficient travel route between your SHOWINGS. We used to have to create a map for each location, enter the starting point and destination etc., ect..... Now we have another option. 
It's no secret that gas prices are climbing. As we take a look at our own records, we see that we were paying $2.81 per gallon in April of 2007. Today, we are paying $3.39. On a broader view, the average price of gas in Washington State has climbed from $3.088 … (24 comments)

I am throwing a big party for my step-daughter Saturday. She is recently engaged and we are having a get together to meet her soon to be in-laws. Needless to say, I have been shopping A LOT this past two weeks. All kinds of stores- party, craft, housewares, hardware, grocery, and big-box … (7 comments)
Well, regular unleaded at the Out Post in Soulsbyville (in the Sierra foothills of California near Yosemite) hit $3.79 as of this morning on the way to work. (Ouch.) And it's getting to the point where I just grab what I need at the grocery store and close my eyes. How … (3 comments)
A friend of mine just sent me an e-mail with the link to where you can get the lowest gas prices in your area. I typed in my zip code and found some interesting info. FAST. 
CNN Money recently published an article about the price of gas. Today the price jumped to $3.50 a gallon in our home town. Unfortunately the word on the news is we will be heading well above the $4.00 a gallon mark, and some states will be much higher then that.

Boy it seems that every day we have to stop by the money sucking gas stations that just seem to be giving you less and less for your money. Just the other day i put 15 bucks into my car and what do you know, the needle only moves up 1/4th. … (3 comments)
This morning, Diesel cost $4.04.9/gallon! This is just another rant about gasoline prices.... This is absolutely insane. I spend over $100 to fill my tank up, and it's not just at the pumps that we feel the cost of this - We feel it at the grocery store too, as the … (11 comments)

I am a big fan of our local editorial cartoonist here, Jake Fuller at the Gainesville Sun. I love editorial cartoons that "RING TRUE" but still make us laugh or smile. None of Jake's cartoons are here, but these are priceless. 
I took particular note of the price of gas this past week while I was driving to North Carolina and back from Maryland and noticed something. The price of diesel has gone up over $4.00 a gallon and I just about choked. I don't drive a diesel car so it doesn't … (4 comments)
We always hear that energy prices affect the whole economy due to the fact that they are a built-in cost to most businesses. These effects are more obvious in some businesses than others. For instance, the airline industry has always been known to rise and fall with energy prices and so … (6 comments)
Good thing for technology. In the beginning part of my career I would drive to all of my clients that were within 2 hours of the office. This was done so that I may accomodate their schedules and it was well worth it. The difference at this time was money was lendable … (0 comments)
The price of gas is having a huge negative effect on a home owner's income/debit ratio! A few years ago when a buyer did a loan application, it did not take into account the price of fuel and the effects that this price increase has on all consumer products across the board! When … (0 comments)
As a Mobile Notary, with over half a million miles driven in the last five years (most of it in circles), I just wanted to say that the predictions of $4/gallon by mid-summer is making me a little cranky! I sincerely hope that the changes surrounding jumbo loan amounts produce a … (18 comments)
With the price of a barrel of oil hitting an all time high, the effect of this rising commodity will affect the bottom line for all of us. As a benefit to your clients and customers, you may want to share the website for local gas prices and provide quick tips … (3 comments)
No one wants to see more gas consumption... but even the staunchest and most conservative among us are getting hit hard by the prices at the pump. If you find that you are paying too much at the pump, perhaps a little planning can go a long way to bringing your costs … (0 comments)
Why do we import so much oil when 112 billion barrels of it lie untapped right here in America? Domestic oil and gas production is safer, more stable, and it's possible. And it reduces our reliance on foreign oil in a highly competitive global market. Shouldn't we be using our own … (10 comments)
What makes you turn your car ignition? I find myself weighing my car trips more carefully lately. With gas topping $3/gal a quick trip to one of my listings or to an agents office to pick up a key really makes a difference in my business budget. We MUST drive, there's … (4 comments)
I remember back when we had the gas crisis during the Carter Administration. I remember sitting in the line at the gas station with my Dad hoping they still had gas when it was our turn. I remember my parents talking to their friends about having gas stolen out of their … (3 comments)

On average, Americans are now paying more than $3.00 per gallon for gasoline. This is roughly 40 percent higher than the cost of gasoline last January when gas hovered near $2.15 per gallon. Higher gas prices are one reason why the economy is slowing down. With so many additional dollars being … (1 comments)

I know many of you may have seen this before, but it's just a quick reminder. I have heard that in Europe and the Middle-East, gas prices are upwards of $5.00 (US) per gallon .Think a gallon of gas is expensive? This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective. Diet Snapple … (0 comments)
As the year comes to an end, we are still seeing and feeling the Over Corrected Mortgage issue around the Nation.

Even though the price per gallon is creeping up to 2.89, I don't flinch as much as I used to when I have to fill up my gas tank. Why? 
The media is at it again bashing Real Estate as if this is the only thing bringing down the economy. I think the press is. Starbuck reported a reduction in traffic and the news attached it to the houseing market slump. What about the fact that gas prices are climbing and … (4 comments)
The 1990 Tax Act provided some special tax advantages for small companies and individuals. This tax incentive, known as the "Percentage Depletion Allowance", is specifically intended to encourage participation in oil and gas drilling. This tax benefit is not available to large oil companies, retail petroleum marketers, or refiners that process … (0 comments)

I drive a car that requires at least mid-grade gasoline in order to run properly. For years I've been forced to pay an extra .10 a gallon for the higher octane mid-grade. A few weeks ago, "Quick-Trip" (a convenience chain that has quite a few stations here in St. Louis and … (5 comments)

EFFECT OF GAS PRICES?
The last two weeks has been a Staging Frenzy for me. I have run out of my own inventory and now I am renting from outside rental agencies. What I am finding is that the delivery fee has skyrocketed. It is anywhere from $150 to $490. Those prices are an entire … (8 comments)
An article in today's Herald Tribune wasn't a very good thing to be reading first thing on a Friday morning. 
Ok enough is enough on these gas prices. I NEVER fill up my Yukon because it has a large tank and I think I was afraid of what I might see. I was filling up for the upcoming weekend and the pump shut off on me! $100.00 of gasoline to … (26 comments)
