gettysburggerry: Tax Credit Deadline Extended - Flood Insurance Reinstated
- 07/01/10 06:02 AM
Tax Credit Deadline Extended - Flood Insureance ReinstatedTwo big items to report this morning. First, Congress has passed the bill extending the Homebuyer Tax Credit out to September 30, 2010. Contracts that were ratified by the April 30, 2010 deadline will now have until the September date to close. While the NAR is claiming this as a big win for Realtors, I don't agree. It may be a big win for Realtors, but I feel it is a big loss for the Real Estate Market, it just continues the governments presence in the market, and prohibits the market from recovering naturally. … (2 comments)

Monday's with Jim Rohn"The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. That is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big."
Was this guy a fortune teller of what? No I don't think so, but I do believe Mr. Rohn had a clear and unobstructed view of the world of business in what ever form it may be practiced. Having a grasp of how business works at it's core is a great gift, and Jim Rohn had as strong and clear a … (4 comments)

National Housing Numbers - Market Still a Thrill RideThis week two sets of numbers for the National Housing Market came out, and it appears we are still on a roller coaster.

This comes on the heals of a nice 8% jump in April. Two factors that are causing problems are the June 30 deadline to close for … (7 comments)

Gettysburg Pa Celebrates Flag Day - Pa has Close Ties to Flag DayFlag Day is celebrated on June 14th and commemorates the adoption of the flag on the United States. What is amazing that the resolution deeming it so was passed way back in 1777 by the Second Continental Congress. Woodrow Wilson issued the proclamation that officially established June 14th as Flag Day in August of 1949. While Flag is not a federal holiday such as Memorial Day or July 4th, there is one state (and the only one) that has made Flag Day an official State Holiday. My home state … (6 comments)

Now this went on for some time, not just a two or three block section, all the way through town. I am such a dork, here I am driving right by the fair grounds … (8 comments)

Gettysburg Pa Celebrates Memorial Day The weather for the annual Gettysburg Memorial Day Parade could not have been better. While honoring our Veterans, Gettysburg Pa sure knows how to celebrate as well. What was wonderful was the spontaneous applause that erupted any time a Veteran went by, it is a pleasure to live in a community that goes the extra mile.
