Common Sense Prevails in Uncommon Market

“Buy A Home – – Or Wait?”
Common sense still prevails in an uncommon market. No one can predict the return of market profits, or the bottom of real estate prices - and they shouldn’t try to predict real estate as an investment. Real estate is still a tangible investment and its’ tangible qualities are more important than ever. While a home holds monetary value, it holds emotional and permanence values. You can live in your home. You can design your home. You can raise your family in your home. So buying a home now will not necessarily improve your portfolio immediately, but it’s an investment you can use and that will be yours when the economic tide turns.

It’s not time to pop the champagne, but it may ease the jitters felt by millions of homeowners, lenders, realtors now that the Feds have moved forward on a necessary takeover and restructuring of the mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson has organized a well-designed plan for not only placing the companies into the hands of the government for reorganization but restored the ability of the principles of free-market competition to prevail. By limiting the power of these greedy giants with unfair advantages, it will allow competition and innovation back into the industry and ultimately, fair practices and better pricing and safe guards for the consumer.

It’s one of those things you hear about and always think happens to other people, not you. Until it does. Just this week I received an automatic email from my bank that a bill was paid from automatic deduct. That would have been okay except the only authorized bill I pay from that account always comes out on the 1st of the month and this was the 12th of the month! I immediately checked my online statement and there were 4, unknown to me, payees about to receive over $7000 from my account! Luckily, I caught the error quickly and reported it. There was still some inconvenience (like having to close the account, open a new one, contact outstanding checks and explain the situation), but nothing like it would have been if I hadn’t opened that email.

In case you don’t know who he is, check out one of the cable channels and watch some episodes of “The Beverly Hillbillies”. Ole’ Jed figured it out long ago that if you discover oil in your yard or a pile of dough under the mattress, “California is the place you want to be…”
The news on the housing market continues to paint a bleak picture and if the information is to be believed at face value, every other home on every block is in foreclosure. But, let’s take a closer look and put those numbers into perspective.
