- 11/28/07 07:00 AM
The so-called media talking about the so-called National Real Estate Market needs to shut up with all the doom and gloom! I don't know what kind of crystal ball these so-called experts are looking into in order to make the recent rash of negative predictions, but accurate or not, just the saying so is, unfortunately, enough to drive the market in the wrong direction. The Real Estate Market is in large measure, perception driven, in one direction or another. It's as simple as this; if you're a buyer out there listening to it all, why in the world would you make the … (31 comments)
fred jaeger blog: It's not about Left or Right.. it's about The American Dream
- 11/12/07 05:09 AM
I'll never forget what I did that first time I purchased Real Estate. I actually sat on the ground of that property and, just like a kid, played in the dirt. I just had to feel the ground, dig down into it with my hands and let my fingers feel the rocks, sand, sticks and mud of this tiny piece of the earth that had somehow, incredibly, become mine.

- 10/22/07 10:57 AM
Here's a topic that's almost guaranteed to bring some heat.. the now classic question (or argument) with regard to which type of building construction is better to purchase.. "Stick Built" (classic on-site framed construction) or a home that has been, for the most part, "Manufactured" at a remote site and assembled, at least partially, on-site. There's a lot of strong opinions out there so let's see if we can sort it out. Ironically, one of the classic arguments, for both systems, is the notion of Strength of Construction. Those that favor frame construction will argue with great gusto that there is simply … (5 comments)
