My New Blog

It's funny, on any given day of the week I can go into my 150-200 emails and find articles from credible organizations about the economy that project opposite views of the market and the status of our economy. I can read both glowing and gloomy outcomes for the near term.  I guess I could find an article to support just about any claim that I want to make. Yeah, rates are down, rates are up, housing is booming and busting, or that consumer confidence is worse or better. It's nuts trying to read the real pulse, but it doesn't take a genious to see that our micro and macro economies are struggling.

Just keep in mind that everything relative. If you are the buyer today, wow, you rock! If you are selling your home today, you are taking it in the shorts. If you are selling short, so is your lender, but you and your lender will recover! If you need a loan, the rates couldn't be better! Underwriting? Back to standard procedures to qualify borrowers, not harder to qualify for a home loan, just back to reality.

You're going to be OK. You're going to be fine. Hold your head up, move forward, and focus on what you want. Your goal is farther off than it was a few years ago? Ok, we will move a little faster and farther to get there.
