Today's News

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Holiday weekend. The weather here in ATL was BEAUTY-FUL! Today, Wall Street will get housing numbers, so watch to see the impact of those numbers on the stock market and the bond market...we're still waiting to feel the impact of the Federal Reserve's slashing rates and injecting more $$ into the credit markets.

Regardless of what the figures are today, for most folks, buying a home will be determined by down payment and monthly payment.

Lenders are still tightening credit standards, as the foreclosures haven't hit bottom. So, if you're in the market for a home, please get pre-approved ASAP! so you don't have to deal with disappoint news down the road.

I've added an rss feed from Bankrate.com to this blog, to help figure out current rates.
Would love to get your feedback.
Have a magnificent week!

Market UpDate

Wow, this has been a volatile week, with oil pricing getting over $103 a barrel and home sales falling across the country. Atlanta hasn't had the huge price run ups that other parts of the country had, so, hopefully, pricing won't fall as much as those part of the USA.

Spring is finally bursting out here, with today's temps in the high 60's! Very Welcome!
