Friday on BlogTalkRadio, the question was, “Is now the time to buy?” I was on the show for the last 20 minutes or so talking about it with Ken Cook, the host. The full broadcast is about an hour long, but I can hit the high points…

There was a lot of attention paid to this a few months ago when it was first introduced, but everyone has kind of let it slide to the back burner since then… and that is a shame because this is an interesting time to be in the real estate market as a buyer.
First, let me cover a few basics:
- While termed a “First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit”. it really isn’t any of those things…

The Case-Shiller Index of home prices came out yesterday. It is an interesting index because it concentrates of resales and looks at the new prices of properties that have previously sold. In theory, it is tracking the same houses over time to see what values are doing.
In looking at the methodology, I think that there are some weaknesses in the way things are looked at, but the data is still interesting and relevant.

Ok, when I sent Ken the “adaptation” of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, I had no idea he was going to post it on Utterli… Here is the link of him reading it. you can also find the original post here… on LilburnDwellings.com.
I was reading ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas to my son a couple of nights ago, and had the idea for the post… The first couple of lines were already in my head and so I sat down this morning to knock out the rest of it before it made me crazy.
Feel free to bop over the LilburnDwellings and read the post… Maybe I’ll do a dramatic reading of it soon… I might need to clean it up a little more to get the flow closer. But I have been wanting to try out Utterli… I made an account yesterday (I’m LaneBailey on Utterli) so I am ready to go with that.
Stay tuned for actual political incorrectness…

I like things that are politically incorrect. I don’t mind getting skewered a little… if it is funny. This is funny. It is NOT PC.
