Sea Sick in the Ocean of Finance

Up and Down - Down and Up: Some days I feel like throwing my head over the side of this ship and just loosing it all! I'm thinking that Sea Sickness was designed by the higher power to give us a real life experience to relate to emotionally when we get there.

So that is the report today Up and Down, Down and Up! After a crazy market yesterday with the interest rates changing 3 times going higher we have a little bit of a pull back in the market today. As always just like at the gas pump, you will see the big bank take a lot and give back a little at a time.

BIGGER NEWS TODAY! As big as tracking rates can get here is the latest breaking on lending guidelines. Freddie Mac is cutting back to 97% Loan to Value on loans or less. Now talk about the trend not being your friend. To all of my Realtor friends out there reading this blog- the day has come...the market is continuing to shrink the pool of available buyers.
