BEAUTIFUL HOMES AND RANCHES

Several times every day I check my listing service to see what's new to the market. Each one who has solicited my services to find real estate for them gets the personal service that I provide. I don't leave that to automation as many others do. I do it all by hand for each customer. It's time-consuming, but it's rewarding. Not only does the process keep me up to date on what's available, but my customers get properties chosen specifically for them. If you've had this kind of service before, welcome back! If it's here, I'll find it. Luxury homes and executive homes in Tyler and East Texas is my specialty. www.johncmartin.com

INTEREST RATES

Interest rates rose by thirty basis points last week. I anticipate a continued rise in coming weeks. In the immediate weeks I would think that a hundred basis points is in order. Longer term, more than that. Look for Greece to default, and/or the Euro to slip from its present level of 1.33 to the dollar down to 1.27 to the dollar. These will be bad signs. Deflation of the dollar and inflation of goods and services. A value added tax (VAT) is on the way for the American public, for the debt is too high.

Available cash is safer in real estate. So let's find where yours is most effective for you. Email me from this blog or from my web site: john@johncmartin.com.
