Top Viewed For Sale Postings

Growing up my mom constantly reminded me of three things I should always do: brush my teeth, chew like a lady and save for a condo. So much for carefree childhood bliss! While it is important to note that I am a RK (Realtors Kid) and was introduced to the nitty gritty of home sales at an unhealthy age, now that I am older I realize that my mom was onto something. If you’re serious about jumping into the real estate market, taking those first baby steps towards saving is a must.This message is especially timely considering how the sub-prime mortgage crisis is impacting first time home buyers.
A few hot properties worth skipping your daily Starbucks for popped up this week on the Top Viewed hit list. Favorites ranged from large family residences in Yarmouth, CT and Salt Lake City, UT to a high end condo in Mountain View, CA.
Although I have certainly had my share of cavities and embarrassingly big bites, I think my mothers antics have successfully brainwashed me into the saving mindset. Read this post every day for 21 years and the same may be true for you!

The sub-prime mortgage crisis isn’t really a crisis as much as a potential drag on the market. It will certainly have an impact on the economy, but so will hundreds of other problems that people don’t talk about every day in the business news. Generally, a crisis in the economy is past as soon as it has been recognized - the problems we are not aware of are a greater concern to me.
Having said that - you are correct. Saving for your down payment is important!
