What's Next? - 10/22/08 08:36 AM
So, what's next in our nation?  What will the next announcement be from Washington, Wall Street or anywhere else for that matter?  Who will be the president and vice president?  Most of us have strong opinions about these things, but when everything settles down, what will real estate be like?  Yes, people are still talking doom and gloom for our profession.  People act as if the sky has fallen.  Maybe it has in certain places.  However, the creative Realtor can and will survive, if not thrive in any market.  Our shifting markets can challenge us, as well as our clients.  Our … (1 comments)

What about Lubbock's market? - 10/21/08 05:08 PM
You may have seen the recent A-J article that talked about Lubbock, TX being ranked #11 on the list of cities that had the best bet to weather the recession.  Yes, Lubbock is somewhat insulated for several reasons.  We are a big college town...Texas Tech, Lubbock Christian, Wayland Baptist, South Plains.  We have a strong farm community, medical community and banking industry.  Bankers have been conservative!  Our home prices were not artificially inflated.  Our growth has been steady and sure.  People can say all they want about the dirt and wind.  They can make fun of it all they want, but … (3 comments)

Lubbock, Election and Real Estate - 10/19/08 10:03 PM
Yes it is that time again.  Every four years it comes around.  Of course I am referring to our national elections.  So much of the process we have seen before.  It almost seems routine.  On the other hand, lots of things are new this year.
We have just come through record breaking days with the stock market!  Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are talked about more than ever.  Bank bailouts, talk of recession, depression, you name it.  People are discussing the subprime loan market, or the fallout from it. 
The republicans have their first ever female running on the ticket.  The … (0 comments)

Oh be careful little Realtors how you vote! - 10/15/08 10:58 AM
Yes, I know you are probably sick and tired of politics by now.  I am getting that way.  No, I don't totally agree with any of the candidates completely and I probably never will. I know this is a real estate blog and not a political blog.  However, whom we choose to vote for can and will effect our real estate businesses in the future.  Please carefully study the issues and judgment of the candidates the best you can and make a well informed decision. Who supports small business?  Who supports the self employed?  Who supports being able to own investment property and … (7 comments)

media madness in real estate - 10/08/08 05:09 PM
DOES OUR LIBERAL MEDIA NOT HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO BESIDES BOMBING OUR REAL ESTATE BUSINESSES AND MARKETS?  I don't know where you are, but real estate is not near as bad as the media portrays where I live.  Yes, there are foreclosures.  Yes, there were bad subprime loans.  Yes, there have been crooked appraisals done.  Yes, there are crooks in every line of work.  Is it the majority?  Of course not!  It is the small minority.
WHY DO THEY CONTINUE TO LIE TO THE MASSES AND SCARE PEOPLE SO MUCH? Yes, home buying has finally slowed down a little bit here because of lack of … (8 comments)
