This business seems to be changing on a daily basis. As a realtor, I'm finding .....especially in the last 6 months, that even ready, willing and able buyers can't get approved.We are just now dealing with a scenario of an investor buyer with 10% down being declined because of banks requiring 20% down. It hasn't been that long ago, months, really that investors could buy with no money down. Of course we've seen where those loans have led to....the foreclosure problem..It's a guessing game right now really. Even with preapproval letters from lenders...and buyers with money to put down, still the banks have tightened the reins and further hurting the market.This is my experience from buyers not being approved close to closings and well priced listings just sitting!It's tough...sellers and...

I have had my mind on enclosing a formal living room we don't use....for a bedroom I could  use for my older boys. I had it all figured it...just take down the built in bookcase, move it into my office and finish enclosing the room! Ha! Have you ever noticed...when doing most anything, there are soo many steps before you can even start, much less finish.First I had to pack up the loaded bookcase about 9 foot by 8 ft.,  Of course, I had to first get boxes...load them up, stack them up ( a ton of steps in between like throwing out...dusting...looking at books and pictures.. )and then my husband started pulling the bookcase down.    .Of course that meant I had to rearrange my neatly organized office. (I"m kidding its a disaster) I had to organize throw away, move the internet and phone con...
