darryl glade: Top 10 Most Expensive Homes in New Orleans
- 02/19/08 02:54 AM
New Orleans Real Estate - Top 10 Most Expensive HomesCurious about the most expensive real estate sold in New Orleans in 2007? Me too! So I did a bit of research and to the best of my knowledge, I created the top 10 list of the most expensive residential real estate sold in New Orleans last year. I think that it is pretty interesting that the 7 out of 10 of the most expensive properties sold in 2007 were over $2,000,000. And everyone is saying the high-end buyers aren't out there...ha! 10. $1,800,000 - 1523 Soniat - Turn of the century stucco … (0 comments)

darryl glade: Are We Heading into a Recession?
- 01/15/08 03:20 AM
Everybody is talking about it…are we going towards a recession in 2008? A recession would certainly not be good and it would hit investor portfolios very hard…those same portfolios that were hit hard in 2007! I just read an article in BusinessWeek that speaks directly about the recession risk that we are facing in the United States. The article is very interesting and breaks down the issues into four main sections; The Credit Crunch, The Housing Slump, The Federal Reserve, and The Global Economy. BusinessWeek surveyed 54 forecasters for their annual outlook their views on the subject and then analyzed the … (0 comments)
