Dont rely on the words of politicians! They are all liars and have been for years and years!  Bottom line is...They all want our money so they can get richer and we get to be poorer. Reliance on our creator is the key to our future happiness!

God will see to it that they will all be gone when he brings his war against them.

Dont worry be happy.    Study Gods word! Stay close to him.

I have something I would like to say and I realize that some of you may not agree, but please  have an open mind to this.   I will try not to sound like i am on a soap box. ok? This is very true.  Before things can get any better, the worse will have to take place first.  And it will get better according to God's word in the Bible. We just have to put our trust in God and not in noble men as the  Bible says. Bear in mind that man (politicians) cant and wont help us. They are just getting richer while we are getting poorer.  But thats ok  because things are only temporary in this world. God will help us all who put their trust in Him.  He has a better plan/life for us all who want to know him and to do his will.  If only more people would look  into the Bible, their life would be so much easier and happier!   I've never been happier myself. God wants happiness and peace for us and he will bring it in his time table. He is wanting us to know him and giving us all a chance. before he brings it on> ( armagedon)  Which means God's war against  ( those men ) who are ruining the earth and robbing us. This will take place first, then those who want to live in peace and live in a paradise here on earth will be spared.  yes, thats right, we will live right here on a clean and crime free paradise earth!  You can see this for yourself  in  the book of Revelation and in the book of  Psalms.  37: 11 makes it clear that the meek will possses the earth. Also Psalms 37:3 and 4.  And many more places in the Bible it states. One more thing, God will provide escape for those who come to know him. Psalms 37: vs 40. So with that said,  I'd like to encourage anyone who wants to live in an enviroment with people who are trustworthy and honest and not worry about crime, violence, sickness and death, old age etc.  to come to know God soon before he brings on his war.  You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Thank you for letting me share some of this good news. There is so much more to learn about God and his provisions. I hope you will take some time to learn more about your creator and talk to us. Share with us your views.

Can someone please tell me where markets are rebounding??? I live in a wonderful, and highly desirable area about 20-25 miles SW of Denver, and though we've a couple of counties in CO. do rather well.....Jefferson Cnty.,CO is still one of the most desirable, we have still seen home price's climb anywhere from 1-5% during housing slump BUT NOT THIS PAST YEAR!!! Our CB office had just over 100 Realtors, now 28 and last month we (our office sold four homes), our Conifer, CO. office had over 45 Realtors, now 21 and they sold 3 homes. For 1st time in nine years (since I moved to CO) not ONE home in our beautiful neighborhood of 85 home's sold this past summer.....Although, two went into foreclosure and we all know what happen;s to VALUE'S of our homes!!! My wife laid off 10 months ago, (she has her second interview tomorrow) in TEN months!!! I am up for 1st job of day, my days normally consist of 4-5 hrs. sleep as I contract out two P/T jobs (pays ALL utilities!) and my monthly REaltor fee's. So someone please explain to me, (the friggin boots on the ground) where on Earth things are SOOOO much better????? I want to get my wife a job, and sell home's but not in CA. nothing personal but have been there, done that and I don't think CA. is that much better off! I just had a woman from Lancaster, CA. relist her home w/me here in CO. (relisted for 2 yrs) and have very good friends in the La Quinta (Palm Springs area) and their hurting! Born, raised in Taxachusetts (great job putting dems in charge folks) is it apathy, or stupidity??? Anyway, my own FAMILY, FRIENDS are in world of hurt from RI, on up tp Maine!!! Where on Earth is economy better, improving, out of recession, and all the rest of BS they are feeding the masses that buy into this crap?????

I lease a commercial store front and just got landlord to go from 16 hundred a month, to 800 hundred a month (for now) RIGHT, they were grateful to keep me in there and I don't see another rate increase for approx. 2 years, at least NOT here!!!!!

Having been in Residential, Commercial, & Farm and Ranch Real Estate for the past 16 years I have never seen this kind of market.  Unbelievable!  It will continue to get worse before it gets better.   I am never pessimistic, but we are not through this downturn yet!  Home prices will continue to drop, foreclosure rates will escalate, as we begin to see hyper inflation!  Dollar dropping in value, energy prices will continue to rise and all this is put on the backs of the American public.  With no jobs, and cost of living continuing to rise, there will  come an America that non of us will want to be part of.

Our single family, pseudo ranch style, vaulted ceiling homes are inefficient to say the least.  Our developments require municipalities to spread utilities and infrastructure all over God's creation.  We have crumbling water, sewer and storm pipe that we cannot afford to replace, buried under our roads that we cannot afford to fix either.  Don't get me started on bridges, gas, electrical etc. 

 

I don't think typical housing is coming back.  If it does, it'll be short lived until more efficient dwellings are built and the 1970's ranch styles dot the landscape as abandoned shells.

 

Or I could be completely wrong and this is only a recurring, expected market correction...

 

Either way, we're all going to die.

When is someone going to do a housing article that isn't just about big cities where most people really don't care to live and the housing prices are usually unrealistic anyway.?

There is a word for the folks in the business press: shills. There are other, less genteel words that will spring into your minds as well. These are the same people who pushed the notion that housing prices will always go up so "borrow! borrow! borrow!" They say whatever will get more monied  people to give them more money to get more money from folks like us.

As a Realtor and Builder. I can't believe we as Americans are letting the Bank lenders or rather Corporate America in conjunction with congress remove our ability to stand within our constitutional rights regarding Real Estate law and ethics in america after all they got us into this mess in the first place. Hay, why not stall the market with short sales and lie to the american public they can afford to wait. It worked with the sub prime loans and home ownership before, and who cares who got jobs anyway. The bankers are sitting or using all the money anyway and were going to be paying for it again . It time to stand up and be counted ........ I thought usury was illegal  or alt least unethical . Or is it extortion ? How much interest are they paying again ? What a joke .......Black Sheep

Come on people. (Authors and Bloggers) Enough with the speculation and negativity.  Given that irresponsible reporting played a large role in creating this mess were in, it only seems right that it should play a small part in correcting it.  My mother always said " If you don't have anything good to say...shut your mouth"  Damn...I understand now Mom!  Why do people even buy into this crap...and the other.  Get off your computers and get back in touch with the real world people. After 24 years of commercial real estate development, land speculation, property management , ownership, and what I thought was a bright future...I am throwing in the towel.  Maybe i'll go to work for Wal-Mart in Australia.  The state of things in The US real-estate market has gone to ****, and everything else is in tow right behind it.  Things will get better when the average American stops eating up everything they read and see in the media like it was soilent green, and gets on whit their everyday lives.

Now, now...don't be naysayers.......look at the stock market.............sure, they will rise, if all else remains the same......it probably won't.............interest rates will rise, erasing the mini frenzy going on right now for first time homebuyers trying to catch the free $8000 credit and those that haven't lost their jobs.  Even though inflation will rise, home prices will lag behind for 5-10 years minimum.  Also, refi's have seen an increase...these from those that can stay in their homes.........they have decided to stay in their homes and won't be moving up anytime soon.......the high end of the market will be crushed for years............what are you going to do?

Isn't the falling house prices partly a reflection of a correcting of vastly inflated pricing in real estate?  Sure, the loss of jobs didn't help but...poor ways of financing also collapsed around even those with the best credit.

This article is based on fantasy vs. reality.  I live in Worcester, MA and trust me, our home values are still plummeting.  Our governor has halted the pace at which foreclosures are hitting the market, so as to slow it down.  Nevertheless, our prices are still falling.  They were falling throughout the spring and summer season, which is prime time for selling homes here.   Now that we're approaching the fall and winter months, activity will drastically slow down.  In fact, Worcester has one of the highest foreclosure rates in our state!   We've lost all our industrial occupations and professional jobs here.  Those employed in the medical and academic professions, do well here in Worcester.  All the professional jobs have been relocated to more business friendly towns and suburbs.
