Market Report Preview

I am prepping for my monthly Market report with the October preliminary data and the September final data… and something is definitely wrong.

Look for a full report Monday evening, but I wanted to toss something out there before the report is complete.

The final numbers for September came in pretty good…  Sales were actually

Is your Lilburn listing getting ready to expire?

If your home has been listed, and it is getting ready to expire, I would like to make a few suggestions…

  • Get a new agent… like me…
  • Set up the new listing to begin the day after the current listing expires…
  • Go on a nice vacation for a few days…
  • Don’t forward your home phone to your cell phone… and you might consider NOT sending it to voice mail…

Why you ask?

Got money to lend…

I was talking with one of my mortgage brokers today…  We are planning on doing a few podcasts, and he is a pretty cool guy, so we like to jabber every once in a while anyway.  But there were a couple of things that Ken said to me as I was wandering around the store looking for birthday presents for a 4 year old and a 2 year old.

Housing starts fall to the lowest level in 17 years… and it is good!

Just off the wires in the latest housing news…

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Construction of new homes dwindled to the second-lowest level in 50 years last month, as home builders sought to reduce the number of unsold inventories in an elusive quest to find the bottom of the historic housing collapse, according to government data Friday.
Housing starts fell 6.3% in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 817,000, the lowest since January 1991 and just 19,000 above the record low, the Commerce Department estimated.
Starts of single-family homes tumbled 12% to an annual rate of 544,000, the lowest since February 1982 and the fourth-lowest ever. Read the full government report.
Housing starts were also revised lower in July and August. Starts in August were revised to 872,000, down from 895,000.

Of course, the big question is how can this be GOOD news?

It comes down to

180* turn…

I had a great thought for a blog post.  I was surfing some of my daily reading, and ran across an item and after a few synapses fired in my brain… unrelated post idea sprang to life.  So, I jumped into my Admin Panel, ran across a particular spam comment…

New Subject…

(the other subject will be on LilburnDwellings.com in a little while)

The spam in question was from someone that “buys homes for cash to help home owners.”  The part that is funny is
