What Does Warren Buffet Think About Buying A Home? - 01/30/12 09:01 AM
  Warren Buffet is seen by many as the greatest investor of our time. When he speaks, people listen. Like anyone else in his position of influence, he is criticized by some for using his bullhorn to promote his own business agendas at times. That makes it very interesting when we occasionally learn of how he privately advises those closest to him. Such a situation occurred this week. Debbie Bosanek, Warren Buffet’s secretary of 37 years, recently purchased a second home in Surprise, Arizona. In an article in the Omaha World Herald, Mrs. Bosanek discussed her reasons for purchasing a second … (2 comments)

So the thinking that homes aren’t selling just isn’t true.
Another interesting fact in the report was that … (0 comments)
