ParticipantYep it is a very VERY poor time to shop if you are a buyer looking for a deal. Go back and test the waters. You need a substantial rise in inventory just to get back to normal inventory levels. A rapid rise in rates would help as well but elasticity of pricing usually does not kick until a few months after rates have moved. 10 – 15% depreciation will not happen in 2009 unless something extraordinary happens. Maybe by the end of 2010 and at that we need much more inventory, rate movement, job loss… you know the story.

ParticipantI think it is a great bill. However as a buyer, if you want to gain a competitive edge over other buyers offering contracts for a particular property, you will want to LET the Seller select services AND not force the seller to pay for them. Perhaps when the market saturates more you can leverage this bill better.
Remember, tailoring your offer to the current market conditions will help you if you are eager to buy a property. Right now is not the time to buy if you want to leverage your position. Wait awhile until the market cools down.

ParticipantI think that it does not really matter what is cut and what is not. Whether it is welfare benefits, services to people who are not legal citizens of this country, cuts to education, municipal services, or anything else. The bottom line is that a solution is needed and that solution will be a combo of increased taxes and reduced services.
I understand those who support continuation of welfare support and benes for illegals. My only question is where do you guys propose the cuts be made then? Or is the solution to not make cuts and raise taxes only?
I recall someone had made a recommendation one time about a simple 20 percent reduction across the board. Not a bad idea.
It is the only way for the state to move forward. Sadly I believe the cuts will be modest and the state will continue a policy of defecit spending because obama will either produce loans or gaurantee the loans needed. As bad as arnold is, and he is horrible, the state senate is just as responsible. The 15 percent flat tax proposal by arnold was pretty nice as well.
Look out new york, cali is gunning for that number 1 ranking.
