Come on over by the window ...open er' up and take a deep whiff! <Ssssssssssssssnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiffffffffffffff>
Ahh yes, Smell that??? That is the smell of a brand new fresh Real Estate Market! heh-heh...2008 was starting to stink up the joint pretty good eh?...Well..since I don't have enough moola to buy myself a senate seat (We do that here in Illinois...and we can vote as many times as we want to ..even after we're dead!) I think I'll be sticking to Selling Houses

With a new year upon us and the opportunity to make right some of the wrongs we've done...Real Estate will play a very,very key factor in how 2009 plays out. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the final instalment of "Real Estate 2008- By The Numbers...."
