However, a glimmer of light was published earlier today. According to the NAR, pending U.S. Home sales saw an increase of more than 6% […]
Government Intervention – Good or Bad?
In the world of real estate, there’s a lot of debate over how much the government should get involved – if at all. At my core, I’m a less-is-more guy… the less government intervention, the better for the free market and, in turn, for us all. Even on the issue of housing bailouts, which obviously […]
