What do you think of the $8,000 Tax Credit offered and if you believe it made a difference in selling more than normal homes amount of during this huge economic slump?    Personally, the majority of my buyers were first timers and had the ability to use the credit, but in each of their cases it w...

I've been reading articles and speaking with Realtors all over the country lately and it seems as though the general attitude is better than it was at the beginning of the year. Houses seem to be selling, but at slightly less than they should be. There is still an imbalance between available home...

  It is wonderful at this point in our real estate market cycle.  There are those who groan and moan about how terrible the current market is.  There are those who will scramble to do whatever to get a deal, especially those who came on when it was a sellers market.  Now there is work and sales a...

I have been noticing that there seems to be more blogs than blog responses.  Is it that we write to chatter as a squirrel does or are we trying to evoke thought and or response?  I challenge those who use this form of communication to go beyond the day to day.  Elicit, evoke, involve those around...
