Once unemployment starts going down we will be well on out way. The United States economy grew at its fastest pace in yearss at the end of 2009, even as businesses resisted hiring and continued to do more with less. In addition, the growth rate was the fastest since the third quarter of 2003, when the economy grew at a rate of 6.9 percent. Gross domestic product (G.D.P.) is equal to the market value of goods and services produced by labor and property in the United States, regardless of nationality. http://bit.ly/dgROia

In November, Congress extended the tax credit and amended it to include some repeat buyers in hopes of securing a more sustained real estate upswing. However, the narrow window suggests none of us should count on another extension.

As the new deadline looms, first-timers who were excluded from the $8,000 credit by the old income limits will be looking to join the action, too.

We cannot count on any extensions this time so this is the time to act.

A study by researchers at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago concludes that as many as 25 percent of defaults are driven by strategy, not necessity.

I’m surprised that the percentage is not higher. The government is trying to help those that want to save their home but many do not want the help. When I was in Real Estate in Florida Buyers where paying crazy prices for homes and resold them months later for thousands more. Now that real estate has turned they are walking away. Many of these people made lots of money flipping properties for year but know are not willing to take a loss. That seems to be the American way perhaps the Government can come up with a way to subsidize them for their loss… Just Kidding! http://bit.ly/6MlLNY

The guidelines create a path for a short-sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for eligible borrowers for whom loan modification isn't a viable option. HAFA is a complex program, with 43 pages of guidelines and forms so. After reading the guidelines I find it very confusing but it does appear to have some meat in it, check it out. http://bit.ly/6hDrqb

Feds are predicting that housing sales will jump by 11 percent, even in the face of a slow recovery for the economy as a whole. With home sales surging for the second month in a row in October, climbing to the highest level in over two years as first-time buyers rushed to take advantage of what was expected to be an expiring tax credit. Home sales nationwide are now up nearly 36 percent from their bottom in January.

I find all this very exciting however I am not sure if real estate can turn that quickly on its own without another government handout. http://bit.ly/6qlNpJ

In areas that seem to be catering to the second home buyer like Western North Carolina I do not believe has seen that kind of growth. The credit was recently extended through the middle of 2010 and expanded to include many existing homeowners. Now that is exciting and the fact that existing homeowners may take advantage of a tax break could help real estate in 2010. Cross those fingers and toes!

After one of the country’s largest financial meltdowns, the National Association for Business Economics group is hardly happy as talk of a depression has been replaced with debate over the strength of the recovery. I find it hard to see a change in the overall economy as the cost of living is still going up and job opportunities are getting more challenging for many.  It seems that 2010 is the magic number for seeing real changes but employment is 2012 do they not go together? http://bit.ly/2m9Cpy
