Our real estate & economy in laymans terms

Mortgage and Lending with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation Nevin NMLS #69651

Rates - they are great.  5% or lower if you pay your bills on time. Look here:

http://www.nevinhomeloans.com/RateSheet    I told you so

Real estate sales - they are up!

Well, no..they are down: http://www.trianglencrealestatescoop.com/

Are you suprised?  When the US Government says, Hey I'll buy that loan and I'll do it for 4.5% why wouldn't sales be up? 

Guess not everyone is buying it..literally!

Foreclosed home clean up:

If you clean trashed foreclosed homes then you are cleaning up!  Good job you dirty entrepeneurs: http://hubpages.com/hub/Cleaning-Foreclosed-Houses-for-Banks

HVCC - ah the highlight of my career.  We can't even trust our appraisers.  Hey I don't trust you either Mr loan person or you Ms. real estate agent or you home inspector.  I know! Why don't we raise everyone's taxes and create a government agency called US Government Real Estate Control Department where people who know nothing about real estate can tell all of us how we should do our job.  Here is what I envision the complaint office to look like:

Healthcare - still a mess and really expensive.  We are paying for Research and development so other countries can buy the drugs for a few bucks.  Remember if you were sick before we insured you we ain't gonna cover it!  Maybe try Norway...  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_care_in_the_United_States 

Social security - it is not secure.  Thank your lucky stars if you get any $$$.  If you do end up getting it try to live to be 120 so you might get your money back. http://www.ssa.gov/history/pics/idamay5.jpg

Recession/depression/hard times, whatever...  ah,  printing money always makes us look good for a while.  http://www.urbanconservative.com/2009/03/16/fed-chair-bernanke-the-fed-is-printing-money/

The Big bail Out wasn't really a bail out-it was a huge bridge loan:

The guys that borrowed "bail out money" well some of them have assets (stuff) so they will likely pay us back when they get back on their feet.  So we only need about 50 years to pay off what we borrowed not 70 years.  Think I am kidding?  Read 'em and weep:  http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bs?s=AIG&annual

Ben Bernanke - the grizzly adams looking dude that keeps shoveling...  I mean selling us...I mean, stating that we should be "stable" by years end. This image of Ben tells the real story: http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/files/images/bernanke_0_3.jpg

 Spirits are up!  Well the sales are anyway since people are drinking their sorrows away.  Consider these stocks: BUD  STZ  MOND RVWS  ahh.. read it your self!  http://www.forbes.com/2001/04/09/0409sf.html 

I hope you make some money on this hot stock tip!

So anyway, if you want to buy a home or refinance and are tired of all of the sales garb just call me and let's talk like human beings.  What do you want? I'll tell you what I want and if we both think it's fair let's do it!  I can help you buy a home or likely better your monthly money situation.  Call or e-mail me anytime!

Except for the low mortgage rates, it's not a pretty picture.

However, this is America and things WILL change.

They always do and those who survive this mess will be all the better for it.

Things are booming out here. Prices have been stable for three consecutive months, and home sales have been up for nine consecutive months. There is almost $8 billion of Federal stimulus money being used for all sorts of projects. In fact, my next blog as soon as I finish my comments will probably be about more Stimulus Bill projects that have been announced.

Craig -  I am certain things will change becasue they have to.  I think it will depend on which neighborhoods one works in.  Thanks!

 

Hey Jim - that is what I hear from a friend of mine Chris Sylvada, a realtor in Encinitas.  San Diego has always been and always will be prime real estate.  Thanks!
