How does 60-70's at the beaches, 70-80's inland sound? Sounds like Hump Day to me! Welcome to the daily blog posted daily by
www.patandmelody.com . 11-11 is Veterans Day. Our hats off and prayers to those serving and those who served this great country of ours.
Open house for brokers yesterday. Prices fall 11.2% nationally from a year ago according to the National Association of Realtors... but in the last quarter prices have risen 11% from the previous period. What does it mean? Prices are holding steady over the bumps in the market for the most part.
Don't forget our video joke and blog which is posted around noon time on

Power to the people!!!
A note to realtors from CAR President James Liptak:
The past few weeks have been very favorable for home buyers, our profession, and the real estate industry. President Obama on Friday signed a bill extending and expanding the federal tax credit for home buyers through April 30, 2010, and on Oct. 30 signed a resolution extending the current limits for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and FHA loans through the end of next year.
These successes were a teaching moment for us all on the impact we can make in Washington when we unite behind a common cause. We called for action, and you delivered. California REALTORS® placed nearly 25,000 calls or e-mails to their congressional representatives, urging them to extend and expand the home buyer tax credit. Passage of legislation critical to our profession also underscored the importance of being politically involved, at the local, state, and national levels. It's why I've been personally involved in our Association's advocacy efforts for many years, and why I back up my commitment with an annual contribution to the REALTOR® Action Fund.
During challenging economic times, every level of government is on the hunt for additional revenues. Their sights often turn to our industry and the real estate transaction as an as-yet-untapped revenue stream. That's why our involvement and political contributions are even more critical in the current fiscal atmosphere. If you aren't now an active participant in the political process, I hope you'll join me and give serious consideration to writing a check, making a call, or stepping up your involvement in some way. Your actions help ensure that your best interests are front and center in Sacramento and Washington.
That's it for today, see you tomorrow!
