    The effect of the credit crunch begins in December

    According to the OCR the number of transactions in December is around 1000. Soon there will be more foreclosures per month than home purchases. They are saying that about 25% of the homes on the MLS are distressed properties(REO/Shorts). I agree, these numbers are staggering.

    Superficial Christmas Gift Questions

    I have a source for Casio watches that I like to wear. They cost $10.00 and they have a nice classic design. When the battery dies ever two years, I get another one. It even has a plastic wristband that doesn't get ruined when I go surfing.

    Villages of Columbus - Columbus Grove - Lantana

    If you are buying a home now you should negotiate until the seller is crying........its a deep buyers market and there are substantially more sellers than buyers. Nobody knows how far the market will fall and there is no reason for buyers to assume one ounce of risk. If they won't offer you the...

    Why shouldn't I walk?

    OK, if you don't want to get married.......I vote for walking. Stop paying your mortgage(rent).......and use the money to pay as much of the credit card that you can. I am not sure how long it takes to get you out..........just pay off as much as you can on the CC. If you get 4 months...

    Bush to freeze rates for 5 years - I should've been a lemming!

    I understand the logic of collecting 7% interest from the home owners for 5 more years with the hope that there credit and home prices will allow them to refinance into a fixed.........especially if the homeowner is making their payments now. If the market does not turn up in the next 5 years so...
