The final result happened.  And it is what I thought would happen...... So the buyer was supposed to get back to me in the morning if $201K was good.  He did not and after several phone messages he finally got back to me at 4pm that day.  Now the problem was the home was having a second showing a...

The current interest rates are great!  I don't know why so many are complaining?  Ok, so yes we got a little spoiled back in 2003, but really those rates were for mostly 3-1,5-1 ARMs.  Any thing in the 5's heck in the 4's sometimes are awesome!  Right now were are sitting at interest rates of ab...

Today the highly anticipated $15000 tax credit for home buyers that was supposed to be included in the Stimulus Package, but was voted out.  I for one am happy to hear this!  I know many wrote letters and emails to get this passed.  This was supposed to be the "boost" to a sluggish housing econom...
