OK - here's the real question - who has not been hit with the flu? I think that February should just be declared flu month and no one bother traveling in any public transportation. Shoot I just got over a major hit that took me by surprise and knocked me out for an entire week. We are big washers-of-all-surfaces in our office and STILL....be careful out there.
So we have a changing market. This really is the year that if you were thinking of trading up or needing to refinance NOW's the time. The legislative changes only go through December 2008 so it's made to spur the market and everyone should take advantage of the higher loan amounts for conforming loans. Of course that takes in nearly all real estate in Manhattan but it's a great time for people to move either up, down, or refinance.
In case you ever wonder, I always practice what I preach! I'm doing both -- refinancing and purchasing.
I invite you to do the same.
