lacombe la homes for sale: Interest rates.
- 01/29/08 06:59 AM
I was hoping to hear from you mortgage guys about interest rates. I am actually considering refinancing my property this year if interest rates become attractive enough. Should the Federal Reserve cut rates tomorrow as anticipated, do you think the rates will fall further? I realize they are not directly tied together but they do tend to mimic one another. … (4 comments)

lacombe la homes for sale: Ghost Writers
- 01/26/08 07:48 AM
This was a new term to me. I always assumed we were writing our own blogs. Talking to my broker enlightened me. Seems some of our members may be using so called ghost writers. Are you one of them. You rather pay someone to do this than you. Are you that lazy? Maybe that is why some look so professional. Just remember the personality you put in writing isn't you when someone meets with you. … (12 comments)

- 01/24/08 05:41 AM
Wow a whole 1200 dollars. Thanks, must have been hard giving me some of my money back that I worked for. Do you realize what the politicians just admitted? From both sides? Taxes do hurt you and I. We must give some back so you can spend it. Great how about cutting the gasoline tax, property taxes, social insecurity tax and so on. I think we have about as much chance as a snowball in, well you know where. … (4 comments)

lacombe la homes for sale: Slidell Crime Rates
- 01/23/08 01:48 AM
I was pleased to read the new crime statistics for Slidell LA released yesterday. All violent crimes decreased from the year before. We had zero murders for the year, not bad considering how close we live to New Orleans. The only increase was in thefts, attributed to stealing gas. Go figure. I live in Eagle Point subdivision and I feel safe at all times of the day. Any one looking to buy in Slidell should feel comfortable about their safety. … (1 comments)

lacombe la homes for sale: When The Other Shoe Drops
- 01/21/08 12:01 AM
I have been reading a lot about the financial markets lately. More so than usual. We have been consumed with the subprime debt and default rate. We have seen the stocks of Countrywide, etc. get pounded. The way I understand it, we haven't seen anything yet. The commercial debt that will be downgraded to junk this year will dwarf the mortgage crisis. I can tell you the rest of the world is on eggshells. I once read when America catches a cold the world gets pneumonia. … (5 comments)

lacombe la homes for sale: Rate Cuts???????????
- 01/16/08 08:35 AM
I think our chances for any further interest rate cuts are looking rather slim. With the report that inflation is the highest its been in seventeen years. This should become the Feds first priority.combating inflation. Its rather hard to drop rates and spark the economy without stoking inflation further. Historically the current rates are still good. Gone for now I fear are the four percent rates of the past.

- 01/11/08 01:36 PM
Just to add on to what my broker Frank Rubi ranted about in his blog today. I just wonder how many out there are doing this for something to do. Occasionally you will make some spending money I guess.
http://activerain.com/blogsview/335445/Are-you-a-Pretender I think a lot of so-called Realtors need to read his post. Remember someone else is depending on you to sell his or hers property.

- 01/08/08 04:55 AM
One thing I have noticed in the last year from sellers. It seems they are more willing to fix things that are found in inspections. Maybe the news about the soft market has them in this mindset. My last three requests were complied with one hundred percent. Has any one else noticed this? … (2 comments)
