There’s a new lender in town this week ~~~ the Seller Carry Back ~~~ what you won’t hear anyone talk about in this market is that 30% of all U.S. homes have no mortgage against them. For them … the Seller Carry Back is a lending option…you become the bank!

Our absorption rate continues a slowwwww march up. Our absorption rate has tripled from one year ago. By the numbers it is a “Sellers Market” however due to the economy etc. buyer’s are not behaving as such.

Our market continues to show signs of slowing. Hard to say of it’s the holidays or the economy or a combination of both. The market is just not behaving as one would expect.

The market continues to slow. By the numbers….the market is not behaving as you would expect. The other day I showed a lovely foreclosure property, priced right, only on the market 10 days ~ when I called to check status with the listing agent I would have thought she would have had at least 2 or 3 offer’s on it ~ but no offer’s on the table. Interest rates continue to be incredible in the 4′s. I’m thinking the economy is much worse off than the government would like us to believe. The unemployment rate went up to 9.8% but that doesn’t include those that have given up looking and the “under-employed etc…” I’m thinking their cookin the numbers to keep the rate under 10%. Just look around…there are no indicators that things are improving. That being said….if you qualify to buy today….the interest rates are awesome and there’s a 58% discount built in to todays prices. O.K. that’s my soapbox.
