Here you can keep up to date about the goings on in the real estate industry!

Noting recent upheavals in the stock market, the National Associaton of Realtors(NAR), Washington, D. C., took the opportunity recently to trumpet the idea that "housing continues to be a solid investment."
Home ownership should be approached as a long-term investment, providing both equity accumulation and tax benefits over time," said NAR President R. Layne Morrill.
He said, "The true return on a home investment should not be based simply on home appreciation, but also the amount leveraged. Home buyers typically use their own money to cover only 10 to 20 percent of the purchase price of a home, yet the home appreciation they realize is based on the total value. In addition, home buyers receive tax benefits for their investments, in the form of deductions allowed for mortgage interest and property taxes."
