Home Buyers: Trade Up--The Opportunity of A Down Market

A Buyers' market is a trade up market. Falling home prices are a great opportunity for move up buyers. Even though your home sale price may be lower, the smaller loss of rate can be compensated by greater savings at purchase. If home prices dropped by 5%, here's  what it could look like if you decided to trade up:

OLD HOME PRICE     = $200,000
    Sell at $190,000   = $10,000 - less

NEW HOME PRICE    = $400,000
    Buy at $380,000   = $20,000 - savings

Here's a great example!!!

Husband Releases His First Published Book

I am very proud to announce that my favorite artist has just released his first published book of original art.

 _{Beauty is Calling} is a compilation of the last 6 years of watercolors accompanied by original writings by the author as well as ancient writings from the great masters to great philosophers.

It has been thrilling to watch him put together this work of art  because it is a true passion for him. When he has the brush in his hand and the canvas before him all is right in the world.

The artists is my husband, my lover and my friend...Randy Elrod.
