In this weeks show we are going to talk about the critical rolling out of the marketing of your home for sale. That first day and the weeks that follow are too often under exploited by agents and sellers need to know what they should be expecting. I will use one of my listings as an example.

An interesting article over at the Wall Street Journal got me thinking this week. Is renting actually better - for all of us - in todays economy? We will take some time to discuss this and look at all the other real estate news that has come up over the last week.

We have a few things to discuss this week, but an interesting item is FHA loans and how they are possibly creating the next wave of foreclosures. As is often the case, we were ahead of the curve on this one. We discussed this issue a couple of years back - but it now looks like some others are realizing the same thing. On a whime we have also started a new segment for the show. I am calling it "The Listings of Shame" for now - till I can come up with a better title! We take a real world look - live - at the worst listings of the last few days and discuss why they suck. Tune in for all the latest real estate news and call in live to participate.

We also look at some critical analysis of the FED and compare Bernanke predictions with what actually happened. It will not leave you feeling confident that he can predict the future.
