My wife Eleanor and I used to live in a small house in Princeton, New Jersey. One night we returned home to find a car parked in our single space driveway with no owner in sight. We were tired and had nowhere nearby to legally park our car. ...

Matthew Ferrara & Company Let's collaborate on a blog posting: How about you post ANY NON-HOUSING-CREDIT Way to grow your business and sell more homes, and I'll collect the ideas into a blog posting. I'm convinced there are plenty of ways to rescue housing without more tax dollars.... What say you?

this in no way raises tax dollars, but is an advantage through our Buyer's Security Plan which is a Mortgage Protection plan that the seller pays on behalf of the buyer. This not only protects the seller in that they do not lower their sales price in negotiations, and it protects the buyer for up to 6 months of mortgage payments should they lose their job in the 1st 2 years.

Affordability has improved, providing an opportunity for some households that were priced out of the market as well as for cash-toting investors. Home prices have returned to 2003 levels, according to Standard & Poor's.

So, why do we still need to give buyers $8,000??? If you can't afford a home today, with rates so low..., prices so low, and uncertain employment, shouldn't you just be renting?

Real-estate prices increased for the fourth consecutive month, but a separate measure of consumer sentiment turned gloomier in October.
