Houses and Jobs in This Economy


Right now real estate property seems to be at it's lowest. The reason for this is no one is willing to pay high taxes when the economy is going downhill. We were actually lucky that we got our house before everything went sky high.

What's interesting is that a while back there was a house in Detroit, Michigan that sold for $1! That's pretty insane if you ask me! And what's even more insane is that it took 19 days to sell!

I don't know about you, but at $1 I think I would actually invest in the house. Maybe the economy isn't doing well right now, but eventually houses are going to be needed again. People will want or need to rent or own, especially in the bigger cities where jobs are not as scarce.

Houses that would be available with a phoenix realtor will stand a better chance of selling than houses in a smaller city or state. Think about it. The bigger the city, the more jobs there are available. There's also a lot more housing to choose from verses a smaller town. The only thing that would be an advantage for a smaller town is the fact that housing can be cheaper. Unfortunately that is no longer true. Housing has gone up everywhere.

So whether you're renting or buying a house in a small town where very few jobs are available or you're headed to bigger cities and investing in a house through realtor's in phoenix, there will always be advantages and disadvantages of both. Decisions! Decisions!

For Sale By.....

I have a friend at work who is looking into renting or buying a new place for him and his wife. Looks like Prodigy Network has some nice looking condos for sale. Perfect timing I'd say! The only drawback for us Kansas residents is, there are no condos listed from Prodigy Network in our neck of the woods. Too bad!

Well if his wife is anything like me, it doesn't hurt to at least look! Who knows, in the future they may very well want to move away from this state. Someday!

If Prodigy Network happens to be in your neck of the woods, check them out. You never know... You may very well find your next dream home with them.
