Well....here we are...brand new year! Since we seem to rate our accomplishments by the year in which they occurred, I tend to look at January as the "Zamboni" cleaning the ice...clearing the slate for a brand new year. With that in mind...how shall we look at real estate? Will real estate on the verge of some newly appointed muscle in the extension of the new and improved, not to mention expanded First time home buyer credit, be the smooth skating guiding light to bring back the economy?...or using our ice metaphor, will real estate slip fall and drag everything down along with it? I sure hope America has pillows on its rear.....
Now that I've warmed up your grey matter...Lets take our first look at this years:

On a serious note....for those of you, who like myself, are looking to donate to the Haiti relief effort but want to make sure your money is actually making it to the Haiti relief and not the CEO's wallet, try this link:
My choice was www.directrelief.org, but use your heart and prayer to guide your effort.
