Morning Coffee

Monday Morning Coffee

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY:

"To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it -
but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor."
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes


STUCK IN PORT?

Imagine the Pearl Harbor attack of 1941 going unanswered . . . Many of our ships found at anchor by attacking planes went down, never to leave the harbor again. Imagine the economy floundering with interest rates at 12%, and learning that the head of "the fed" has taken a six-month, non-working vacation to Tahiti. Imagine how you would have felt on September 12, 2001 if our president had appeared on TV to tell us how sorry he was about the attacks without announcing action to protect us in the future.

We expect our nation's leaders to act in times of crisis, don't we? But - what do we expect of ourselves when a family crisis arises, our sales flounder, or we notice the numbers on our scale beginning to creep upward to uncomfortable levels? Do we set sail, or lie at anchor hoping "someone" will do "something?"

Babe Ruth sailed against the wind more often than with it. He is remembered for his home runs - 714 of them - yet he struck out 1,330 times in his career. Best of all, he set sail and got out of the harbor (took his bat to the plate) 8,399 times. Had he stayed safely in the dugout, he could have avoided all those strikeouts.

So - what about you? Having difficulty setting sail lately? Perhaps it's time to give your engine a little maintenance, or take out a needle and thread to repair torn sails. You may also want to pull out your map to redefine the direction you'll be taking in coming months.

If you've been spending too much time at the "Captain's Table" and not enough time on the bridge with the wheel in your hand, perhaps some planning now will send you full speed ahead out of the harbor and with some exotic port of call in sight. Bon Voyage!

by Liz Warren

Ok, now is the time to make your move to purchase on Mt. Hood. In the past week we have seen 22price reductions alone on Mt. Hood inventory from Government Camp, Welches, Brightwood and Rhododendron! Sellers are getting even more motivated to get their property sold, sooner, than later! The rush is on for first time home buyers to use that $8,000 tax credit which is about to expire.

Interest rates are the lowest we've seen in the past three months.  So, is this the time to jump in and take advantage of the incredible inventory, low interest rates, and super home buyer credits from the Feds? You bet it is!

Expiring $8,000 Credit for HomeBuyers!

Monday, August 17, 2009
by Liz Warren

The credit for $8,000 to first time home buyers that qualify is about to expire on November 30 of this year!

Housing lobbyists are busy working on a campaign to get this credit extended for at least another year. Some groups, like home builders, are pushing for the credit to be extended to anyone buying a home, not just first time home buyers. The chairman of the Senate banking committee, Chris Dodd, is pushing for an extension and an expansion to up to $15,000 max for a credit for an additonal year.

Don't count on anything passing but there are certainly groups trying to make this happen. The $8,000 credit has certainly helped the starter home sales but move up buyers have been slow to join the market recovery.

Details to come!
