For
the week of March 19, 2012 – Vol. 10, Issue 12
QUOTE OF THE WEEK..."I
was taught that the way of progress was neither swift nor easy."
--Marie Curie
INFO THAT HITS US WHERE WE LIVE... The Polish physicist and
chemist, famous for her pioneering work on radioactivity, could have
been
describing the U.S. housing market. But we are making progress. Realtor.com
reported that the
U.S. median
list price of homes they track was almost 7% higher in February than a
year ago. The web site of
the National Association of Realtors (NAR) also reported that the inventory of
U.S. for-sale housing is 22%
lower than a year ago. Additional
progress was seen in the median age of inventory of homes
on the site dropping almost 10%, year over year.
Realtor.com summarized the
situation this way: "The nation's
housing markets as a whole are in better shape today than at any time
since the 2009-2010 tax credits." But it should be noted
that although current inventory levels are near a two-year low, they're
likely to grow a bit during the spring selling season.
BUSINESS TIP OF THE WEEK...
Rules (as opposed to laws) aren't there to control us, but to
guide us. If you need a creative solution, you may have to break the
rules. But that can be profitable, and it's always fun!
