.REALTOR Domain URLs Are Now Available As of this morning you can get a .REALTOR domain url for your real estate business, as long as you are a NAR member. There are many reasons why getting this domain is important, but the main reason I did for our Garrigus Real Estate Group is I couldn't imagine someone else owning my namesake! Another reason why I deemed it important is the love Google seems to give to websites with urls matching certain search terms; a website with the url Beaumont-CA-Tire-Store.com would tend to rank better for the search term "Tire stores in Beaumont CA" than GeorgesShop.com.

Housing Inventory is at an Extreme Low in 2014, All Cash to Buy a Home If you're in the market to buy a home in 2014, you may need a bank-load of cash to be competitive in the buyer pool. According to this Nightly News report many homes are being sold to cash buyers, as much as 40% or more! The obvious conclusion to this type of market is that soon home prices will shoot up. Yes, the extremes of real estate values has made everyone's heads spin, but unfortunately the lows seen in real estate prices at the bottom of the housing crash were over-compensating at best to the economy at the time. Here in the California Real Estate Market, we've seen 40% to 60% price swings, or more!!!! Here's the Nightly News Video:   05/16/2014

Ralph Nader speaks about the possible closing of the government mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I tend to agree with Nader when he says that the closing of the seconday mortgage government funded entities would cause "Too many unknowns" and that those "unknowns" don't bode well for the real estate industry and will keep government representitives from voting to close their doors in Congress.
