Wall Street vs Main Street

It has been a while since my last post. I want thank everyone who reads this blog. I am the incoming president in 2009 for the Southern Kentucky Board Of Realtors. I have been getting ready to assume control and I am very thankful to have the honor of serving this great organization at a time when nationally markets continue to correct. It is a time when a true REALTOR will step up and perform and today in selling your home you need a Realtor to help you expose your property at its highest level and cut through all the other choices out there. Locally, the market is still fairly solid but it has been slowing somewhat with the upcoming election and the recent meltdown on Wall Street. I would not be doing my job if I did not tell you it is one of the best times to buy a home in recent history that I can remember. No, that is not a sales pitch or my trying to drum up business. It is the absolute TRUTH. The inventory on the market provides lots to choose from. The interest rate is still very reasonable right now with the promise of rising in the coming months. Our local market has not lost any value and is holding. I am going to tell you what your stock broker will not. I want you to remember this powerful statement because it has the capability to improve your current financial doldrums. "IF purchased correctly with the right conditions Real Estate is the single best investment one can make in their lifetime. Why do you think Donald Trump likes Real Estate. Because he believes just like I do, that real estate has made more people financially independent than any other investment that one can make. I believe long term real estate investment will outperform most stocks on performance and return. Let me know what you think.
