- 03/20/08 03:29 PM
Fannie Mae made the decision to take most of the New Orleans area zip codes off the declining market list today. This means buyers can now buy for three percent down instead of five. This amount to a few thousand dollars less than was necessary before. It's good to see that my area is making a good come back after Katrina. … (3 comments)

slidell la homes for sale: Slidell Mortgage Update
- 03/09/08 08:38 AM
This week was another volatile one for rates and stocks alike. The week ended with conforming 30 year rates heading to 6.50%. FHA's rates have consistently been lower than their cousin Fannie - FHA rates ended the week @ 6.00%
HUD finally announced the new maximum mortgage limits for our area, raising the loan limit on a singe family home to $287,500.00. This was welcome news for those of us who have been waiting for a more realistic loan size to accommodate buyers in our market.
While FHA increased our loan size, Fannie Mae released its announcement that our area would not … (1 comments)

slidell la homes for sale: Rent vs. Sell
- 03/09/08 03:15 AM
I was reading my local newspaper today and found an interesting article. Seems some sellers have resorted to leasing their homes instead of selling them. Funny thing is I approached a seller yesterday of one of my listings. I asked her about the exact same thing. I have a person willing to lease it for a year, would you be interested? I know this isn't what the sellers really want, but it will pay the note and actually generate some cash for them. … (9 comments)

slidell la homes for sale: question???
- 03/05/08 11:09 AM
I just wanted a sampling of opinions from other more seasoned agents. How long do you wait to talk to a potential client after meeting with them, or speaking to them on the phone? Do you prefer to use email or phone calls?
About how many times a week or month would you call? I believe it's a fine line between being of service and being a pain in the you know what. I appreciate your comments.

slidell la homes for sale: Buy this Market
- 03/04/08 05:58 AM
That's right I want to buy this market. Whether it is stocks or houses I want to buy and I need to buy. After-all stocks and houses aren't going to go down to zero. Why do we run away when the masses run away? My broker calls it a mental recession. Means mentally we talk ourselves out of making a commitment. I believe it was Warren Buffett who said "be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy". Get the point, talk to your buyers. … (4 comments)

- 02/13/08 02:23 PM
I just received a contract from two of the top producers in my area. I know this husband and wife team have been doing this a lot longer than I have. Yet this offer lacks the following, a signature by the buyer and a expiration time. I guess legally I don't have an offer. I will do my best to rectify this and get this offer accepted. I fell good when these guys miss these things. My broker always tells me to slow down and take your time. I think he should be their broker. … (5 comments)

slidell la homes for sale: Possible New Homeowners Insurance Plan
- 02/06/08 12:40 PM
This would be the first Louisiana-based insurance company since the early 1980's. However a group of Baton Rouge and London investors are going to give it a try. You mean a new company offering homeowners insurance? Yes I am.
They initially plan on investing 15 million. This would mean they could insure 5 percent of the market in Louisiana. Boy do we need more of this. Hold your horses for now, it is in it's infancy stages. Just the thought of someone considering this gets me excited. Stay tuned I will have to find out more.

- 02/04/08 08:56 AM
I don't know how many of you heard her say this last week. She wants to freeze interest rates for five years. This lady knows nothing about economics. Perhaps she is just saying things like this to get votes. It's a shame people actually believe you can do this. I have no problem proclaiming my distaste for Hillary. I actually don't like to many of them at all. … (8 comments)
