House Hunting on the iPhone
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008
Coldwellbanker.com, now has a different look and feel, along with navigation specifically tailored for optimal viewing on the iPhone, most notably with the property listings search and home value estimator functions. When a user accesses the site through his or her handset, the Coldwell Banker Web site automatically recognizes that it is being accessed by an iPhone, and will serve up the special iPhone interface. iPhone users do not need to download any special software to benefit from this enhancement to the Coldwell Banker mobile technology.

Who Won The Presidential Debate?
Saturday, September 27th, 2008So the Drudge Report is running a poll right now and is blowing out of the water. Out of 285,577 votes, 68% have voted that McCain won last night’s Presidential Debate. In a poll of just 524 Americans, however, the CNN poll gives Obama the edge with 51% to McCain’s 38% and 11% are undecided.
They battled over federal spending, taxes, the economy, Afghanistan, and the war in Iraq. Who do you think won and why? Chime in. You can also voice your opinion at www.HomeSearchRaleighBlog.com.

Dave Ramsey on the $700 BILLION Bailout!
Friday, September 26th, 2008All eyes are on Wall Street and Washington today after a deal to pass a Wall Street rescue plan fell apart yesterday. While Washington is failing to come to an agreement, yet another bank has gone in flame – the largest ever. Washington Mutual fell under the weight of bad debts, but was quickly scooped up by J.P. Morgan.
A new poll shows 78 percent of Americans want Congress to pass a rescue plan, but 56 percent want a plan that’s different from what the Bush administration is proposing. And 40 percent say this is the biggest financial crisis of their lifetime.
According to Dave Ramsey, a financial radio talk show host, got on one of his rants here recently and has a rather unique approach to solving the problem WITHOUT a $700 Billion price tag.
Listen to Dave Ramsey’s rant HERE! And what do you think! Comment here.
For real estate advice, obviously you need a trusted advisor. You can rely on the Freeman/Davis Team to give you the kind of advice that your grandmother would, “only we keep our teeth in!” And yes, the “grandmother and teeth” line was direct from Dave Ramsey but it’s the kind of advice we offer. We’re not afraid to tell you that buying a home with no money down is a bad idea or that you should wait another six months or a year (or more) before seriously considering buying a home.

The Calvary Is On The Way!
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson continued their crusade on Capitol Hill yesterday pleading their case for the proposed $700 Billion rescue plan. Last night President Bush stated on national television that the rescue plan is crucial and is needed to avert “a long and painful” recession. Rep. Kanjorski, a spokesman for the committee, said that some kind of deal that would benefit the economy will be done by the time the markets open on Monday morning. This plan doesn’t bailout out Wall Street but will help every American by freeing up the lending system. If that is the case, we can hope for a slight loosening of the noose on loan programs which is always good news for the Real Estate markets. I will keep you posted as this develops.
As tough as it may seem right now, things are going to be much better in the near future. If you’re not ready to buy, you still may want to do some “window shopping” so to speak. Visit us online at www.FreemanDavisHomeTeam.com and search the MLS.
Good news for buyers…prices are coming down just a little but the big change is the number of choices. There are more homes on the market now in our area than have been in a long, long time. See what peaks your interest online and call us for a showing. Chances are, your dream home may be just a mouse click away!
