Just as Obama said today in the debate, when asked the question on what they don't know.... my answer too is on what I know. And what I know is that people who have the money in this market, to put a substantial downpayment, are winners because they are in the drivers seat.The stock market taking another nose dive and no one knowing where and when we will bottom out, makes it very evident to me that as hard as we try to catch it, it will never come in our reach.I am not a stock market insider, infact I know nothing about stocks. My knowledge in that arena is not even worth talking about and coming from an old school mentality, I only invest in what is tangible to me.

It has been some time since I blogged and it was because I had too much to say and have been debating if I should or not !! Just trying to follow the trends on what is happening in the market and it irritates me to a great extent. I talk specifically about my market in Windemere, San Ramon and trust me, if I had the money to spare, I would buy now.It is not my goal to try and make a sale on these blogs but to express what I see on a day to day basis. We are in a stalemate with buyers and builders. Buyers are waiting because the builders keep coming down on prices and keep increasing their incentives. This is like feeding blood to a man eating tiger !! When buyers see this trend, they want more and more and more- the extent of buyers' demands is to the point that if you give them a free ... 09/09/2008
