Tomorrow is the day that Barack Obama is sworn in as the next president of the United States. Tomorrow is the day that many have marked as one of the most historic days in this country.
Tomorrow is the day that many believe will be the start of a new way the world looks at us.
I could go on. But the point here is that so much is riding on having President Obama in office that it seems that no one could live up to so many expectations. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican or black or white or man or woman or young or old, it seems that so many citizens of this great country are expecting great things from this new president.
And we all know what President Obama gets for being the "winner" of the last presidential election: The worst economy since the Great Depression, 2 wars which it seems that there is no ending or solutions to, the United States' position as a global leader, crime, education, race relations and whatever you care to add to his overloaded platter of what's really important.
No matter what group of people I mentioned earlier (or didn't) or whatever cause you want the new president to fix (I know I didn't cover everything. There's too much.), there is one common thread that runs through us all that hasn't been there in a long time. One idea that unites us like never before. One thought that lift spirits and hearts. One unmistakable feeling that makes anything impossible possible:
Hope.
A simple premise. A simple idea. A simple thought. But a monumental feeling of hope is riding through this the people of this country because of everything that is going on. Barack Obama is the new president, not the "Miracle Worker". It will take time and a great deal of luck. It will not be an easy road. It is a road filled with land mines. I hope he's aware of what's out there.
And I hope, we are too.
Good luck President Obama.

Happy? New Year!
Happy New Year Everyone!
I hope the holidays were good to you. I don't care what anyone says: It is the most wonderful time of the year! Whatever holiday or religious time you celebrate, it is a great chance to be with family and friends. Whether or not you exchange gifts, the only gift that matters is how you can make someone happy. It can be as simple as a phone call or an email.
I know we are all ready to say goodbye to 2008. Goodbye and good riddance. What an economic tailspin! Can it get much worse? I suppose but hopefully we have seen the bottom and 2009 will bring us hope. Maybe we won't be all the way back but maybe we will be to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I believe 2009 will be an exciting time for the real estate business. We know our economy is going to change. We will have a new president who will have a new agenda. I'm sure president-elect Obama will make the economy the number concern in his new administration and it seems that he has surrounded himself with experts in the financial field who know what they are doing.
Also, mortgage rates are lower than they have ever been. If you are going to buy a house or refinance, this is the time. There was talk of the Treasury Department lowering the 30 year rate to 4.5%. That would be crazy.
Lenders are working more with borrowers on the brink of default. Instead of making these troubled homeowners go through foreclosure, the lenders are modifying the mortgages so that these people can keep their houses. It's way too late for the ones already who lost their homes, but maybe now with less foreclosures, more homes will keep their values. That would cause more people to be able to sell their house because the difference between what they owe and what the house value is won't be so great.
So we are in 2009. I have made some resolutions (which I will keep to myself!) that will help me obtain some personal goals. I hope you keep your resolutions and they will help you to be a better and richer person. And when I say "richer", I don't necessarily mean monetary.
I wish you the best in 2009. No matter what you do make it a good one. I hope you have many joyous memories and occasions.
