Red Convertibles, Twilight & Foreclosures
What thoughts have been in this head of mine these past few days? The headline says it all: Red Convertibles, Twilight, and Foreclosures.
Red Convertibles
My daughter is in the first Christms parade of the holiday season tomorrow and her baton twirling school needed to find three convertibles for the “queens” to ride in. Real estate offers so many opportunities for people willing to be involved in their community, stay connected, and be generous with your time. I think that I volunteer so much helped me in my efforts to locate two red convertibles for the team within 10 minutes.
Twilight
What teenage girl isn’t talking about the new movie “Twilight” released to the big screen at midnight last night? I confess I’ve read all four books in the series and am looking forward to the movie. I thought I was going to miss tonight’s show because I have to pick up a red convertible, but my friend and the fellow agent who owns it just informed me that he’ll drive it up to Springfield, Tennessee for tomorrow’s parade. He’s a great agent! That’s as close as I can come to making it real estate related, but I’m all aboard the Twilight bandwagon!
Foreclosures
Finally, foreclosures have been on the minds of hundreds of thousands of people. It looks like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are going to offer some relief to homeowners nearing foreclosure over the holidays.
Fannie Mae said about 10,000 households would be affected, while Freddie Mac said the changes would affect about 6,000 borrowers who are facing foreclosure. The change does not apply to vacant homes.
I’d like to see more than 16,000 families helped but unless a moratorium is announced by the Feds, it’s unlikely that others will be spared the trauma of eviction.
On that note, I caution you to be wary of the video in which former Vice President Candidate Sarah Palin pardons an Alaskan turkey this weekend. Have a good one!
