real estate: Is it really a good time to buy a house?
- 03/25/09 10:27 AM
In reading blogs and editorials in many newspapers I am seeing folks literally scream about how it is a great time to buy a home. Low prices, low interest rates, etc... have been the most used terms for trying to get people to put their signature on the dotted line. But is it really a good time to buy? Low prices are not low if the market will not pay the higher prices. The lower prices based on last year or past years may be good for advertising but it is not a reason to buy. What is low?

I would like to point out items that now are coming back to haunt the profession. First off, the basic framework of buyer representation that was enacted a few years ago … (0 comments)
real estate: Election's Over What's next?
- 11/08/08 12:08 AM
Now that the election is over, maybe we can get on the doing other things-like selling real estate! Maybe not so fast. The economic chaos w e currently have isn't going away anytime soon and that will continue to feed the negativity surrounding real estate. Recent comments from Mr Bubble, Alan Greenspan, support views of a continueing decline in real estate values. He stated that 10-15% may be the number needed to get to the bottom. I would like to throw out the possibility that it is not the value of real estate that is the problem, but the fact that … (0 comments)
