 TGIF Scoop
 presented by Kay Baker & Associates
 
 
Hello everyone and welcome to this week's edition of the Scoop. With all the negative financial news this week, there is some positive news on the housing market. Housing affordability has improved nationwide as home prices have fallen and interest rates are improving. The National Association of Realtors is predicting more the 2 million home sales could be generated from the new $7500 tax credit between now and mid 2009. Consumers that have been sitting on the sidelines are realizing that it is a smart time to buy a home. Start your home search today on my website cbbaker.com. You can search by neighborhood, schools, map, zip code, or  county. And to check out this weekend's activities you can start right here! Enjoy, have a safe weekend and remember.....TGIF!
