More MySpace Realtors

I can't stop thinking about this whole Myspace / Realtor thing. What better way to find strange internet love and sell a house - all on the same site. Shouldn't these realtors be showing houses instead of showing themselves?

Surviving the Real Estate Bubble

CNN Money has a great article listing 6 strategies for surviving the Real Estate Bubble. The only problem I see is that most people who are screwed becuase of the bubble were in over their head. The CNN article basically warns buyers not to get in over their heads. Don't you think its a little bit too late for that.

Here are the quick tips-

Lower your expectations

Drive a hard bargain

Consider renting

Step away from the exotic mortgage

Shop for a rate drop

Keep an eye on your equity

I Found My Realtor on Myspace

More realtor advertising madness. Like I said about the Realtors on YouTube, why are these realtors spending time on gimmick marketing such as myspace? This is getting out of hand - Myspace belongs to hot, single chicks, not realtors.

Why, back in my day, we would be hitting the streets getting clients the old fashioned way.

Check out these Myspace Realtors (don't forget to turn your speakers off before the whack ass music begins) ->

More YouTube Real Estate Hijinks



Seriously, who (besides me) is watching these? Are realtors this desperate? I can understand using unique marketing tools to tap new markets, but who goes has the time to upload their lame Real Estate video?

YouTube is meant for girls dancing around in their underwear, or for people doing stupid stuff, like this->

Why it is ridiculous to pay down your mortgage.

I've been preaching this for years, "Use the bank's money - don't be in a hurry to pay down your mortgage". It seem like people are finally starting to get the message and Yahoo even agrees with me.

"On average, those families could gain $0.11-$0.17 per dollar by redirecting their mortgage prepayments into a 401(k). That comes out to a potential savings, on average, of about $400 per household every year."

About me

    Is there a Housing Bubble? Is Real Estate still a safe investment?
    I don't have these answers, but I do have a whole lot of evidence that realtors are resorting to 'unusual' tactics to drum up business.
